10 different colours in each box
Gateway Safety has introduced RibbonCandy, a fun, colourful twist on classic safety eyewear. With 10 unique pairs per box, every employee can personally choose his/her most visually appealing colour. Plus, its patented temple design provides all day comfort for those wearing safety glasses, Gateway Safety says
“What is different about this product is that one box offers 10 different colours of temples with clear lenses to meet a variety of personal tastes,” said Gateway Safety’s vice-president of sales, Matthew Love. “Plus these safety glasses are aligned with our product development effort that’s focused on user comfort. RibbonCandy’s ultra-comfortable, truly unique temples are unlike anything in the market.”
Part of Gateway Safety’s Temple Technology line of safety eyewear, RibbonCandy is designed for true long term comfort. Its patented, “ribbon” shaped temples create more flexibility on the head, helping to prevent the pinching and discomfort that can be caused by traditional temple designs. These safety glasses are extremely lightweight, with each pair weighing less than an ounce.
RibbonCandy safety glasses are independently, third-party tested and certified by UL to meet ANSI Z87+. They also meet the US Military ballistic impact standard for eyewear and block 99.9 per cent of UV-A, B, and C rays.

Though he’s known more for his jazz-tinged pop and hip-hop productions, Pharrell knows how to deliver a ballad when the mood is right. And the musical chameleon slips into crooner mode with “Here,” his original tune written for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. The ballad finds Mr. “Happy” in reflective mode, singing about dramatic “unfinished business” over silky strings and acoustic guitars. The track is available to stream below (via Rap Radar).
Pharrell also worked on the Spider-Man 2 score, collaborating with composer legend Hans Zimmer and guitarist Johnny Marr. In addition, he produced the Alicia Keys-Kendrick Lamar collaborative track “It’s On Again” (and even appeared in its music video, fiddling with a synthesizer-driven supercomputer as Keys belted against a backdrop of the New York City skyline). The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack will be released by Columbia Records on April 22nd, with the film hitting theaters on May 2nd.
“Before, I was basically getting my jollies from aesthetic, shallow pleasures because it was all surface,” he said. “When I understood the importance of purpose and the gravitas in intention, that’s when my music started to become as close to magic as it could be. When you dig into his scores, they’re magical.”

Tinder: And You’ll Discover Appreciate and STD Screening Centers
Tinder, a super preferred relationships application, is someplace where lots of uncover enjoy and relationship. However, these days individuals can discover neighborhood STD assessment stores.
Screen grab of safety and health section on Tinder website
Tinder now includes a health and safety segment on their site and software, which includes a hyperlink that locates the near STD investigation clinics. Also, the medical and protection segment supplies additional info on typical sex-education themes such as shielding yourself and being sincere towards companion.
This addition to both software and website is actually to some extent a result of a number of studies gradually which have linked internet dating apps to intimately transmitted infections. Rhode Island’s division of Health stated that latest STD diagnoses among teenagers increased between 2013 and 2014.
Rhode Island’s section of Health claimed mixxxer syphilis circumstances increased by 79 percent, just discovered HIV infections enhanced by 33 % and gonorrhea problems enhanced by 30 % between 2013 and 2014. After these listings, the office of overall health started initially to question the reason there was clearly a rise of STD situations among teenagers. The young mature demographic frequently employs matchmaking programs, for instance Tinder, resulted in much more sex-related hookups. Rhode Island’s section of medical merely manufactured the connection.
Along with these finding, a 2015 billboard strategy operated with the AID health basis can be to blame for the alterations. CBS l . a . covered situation:
After acquiring a cease-and-desist document from Tinder right after demonstrating the billboards, the inspiration claimed the purpose of the billboard were improve recognition concerning raising STD rate while also promoting Tinder customers to find routine STD tests to secure by themselves and the like.
Both variations associated with the billboard contain silhouettes of an individual with terminology including “Tinder”, “Chlamydia” and “Gonorrhea.” One billboard are showcased near the top of information as well various other follows.
Pursuing the extension of the health and safety part throughout the application plus the web site, the billboards including Tinder are now being removed by your HELPS medical care support.
Given this new addition on the Tinder app in addition to the headlines that’s really been neighboring the matter, we have witnessed varying feelings within the audience.
Some think that it is a move ideal way. At this point folks have additional technology to help them become responsible when it comes to their unique sexual resides.
Some members of the audience aren’t getting this difference in a confident illumination. Instead, they are tossing further negative horizon on the changes taken by Tinder.
Despite both the damaging together with the positive horizon, the knowledge were required to come across mentioned evaluating stores is tucked somewhere in the Tinder application. To get at the knowledge, customers have got to click on the alternatives foot on the roof put of software, see “help and service,” consequently click “health protection,” when the expertise are going to be located at the base. Choosing the information will be much harder than swiping suitable or remaining thats for certain.
Issued this is certainly an action inside correct route, but I only question how much cash it will likely be made use of and subsequently, exactly how many consumers can be afflicted with these extension?

Gold is a precious metal that will always be valuable. When you buy gold bars or jewellery, you know that it can save you when you find yourself in a tight spot. After all, selling gold is one of the easiest ways to get instant cash. Because of this, you must know how you make the most of your gold items.
To make sure you get only the best deal when you sell your old jewellery or gold coins in London, here are five vital points that you must consider:
1. Know the Value of Your Gold
One way to know your gold item’s value is to take it to various jewellers in your area to get it valued. They will be able to tell you how much you can get from it based on its weight and carat.
They may also look at the craftsmanship when considering the gold price, but it’s likely that they won’t tell you the actual value of your jewellery if they’re planning to buy it. You must let them know you’ll have other jewellers check the item, so they’ll know they have competition.
If you are in Hatton Garden, UK, you can check your gold price using the gold price calculator at London Gold Centre.
2. Don’t Go With the First Offer You Get
It’s easy to get tempted to sell to the first person who gives you an offer. Yet, there’s always a possibility that you’ll get better offers from other people, so don’t commit until you have shopped around and found the best price!
3. Learn the Art of Haggling
If you believe your item is more valuable than what is offered, you can try negotiating with the jeweller. There’s always a chance that you can get higher than what’s initially offered, and even if they don’t give in, you won’t lose anything!
Before you do any negotiations, make sure you know all your options. Suppose there are several competing jewellers or cash-for-gold companies in your area. In that case, you are more likely to find someone willing to raise their price for your gold, especially if you are selling several pieces of jewellery!
4. Know the Best Time to Sell
Keep in mind that the rule of supply and demand also applies to gold. In general, gold becomes more in demand and given higher value when there is uncertainty in the market as gold is regarded as safer than other investment types. Unless you are in dire need, it’s best to wait for a stable economy before you cash in your gold.
5. Have the Whole Item Valued, Not Just the Gold
If what you have is a gold encased diamond ring, make sure that your item is valued as a whole and not just specifically for the gold. Beware of those buyers who would go as far as removing the precious stone to get the metal’s value only. When this happens, you won’t be able to cash the actual value of your item!
Selling gold items is indeed an easy way to quickly earn some cash but getting the best price for your items is not as easy as you might have expected. Of course, cash-for-gold companies offer convenience, but you have to be careful to only transact with a reputable business with good reviews from their previous clients!
London Gold Centre is one of the top metal buyers in London that can buy gold coins, jewellery, and watches at the market’s highest price. Check out our price for gold per gram and calculate your item’s value using our calculator today!

Hollis Classroom is the second level you’ll come across in Psychonauts 2. This level contains several collectibles for you to find. In this Hollis Classroom Collectibles guide, we’ll be listing down the locations of all the collectibles found in Psychonauts 2, Hollis Classroom.
Psychonauts 2 Hollis Classroom Collectibles Locations
Below are all the Hollis Classroom Collectibles in Psychonauts 2
- Figments in Hollis Classroom
- Emotional Baggage in Hollis Classroom
- Memory Vault in Hollis Classroom
- Half-A-Mind in Hollis Classroom
- Nugget of Wisdom in Hollis Classroom
Starting off with the most important collectible Psychonauts 2 has to offer, the Emotional Baggage. During your search for collectibles, you’ll come across five different types of Emotional Baggages in each level.
In Hollis Classroom you’ll find two of them i.e., Steamer Trunk and Hatbox. However, you can’t directly find Emotional baggage since they’re associated with their respective tags which you’ll have to find as well.
Therefore, find the tags first then look for the baggage.
Find the Steamer Trunk tag at the beginning of the Hollis Classroom level. Jump on to the right platform and grab the tag from behind the desk.
As for the Steamer Trunk, you’ll have to head outside the Emergency Room atop of the hospital and under the pipes on your left. You can get up to the top via an ambulance parked near the hospital.
The Hatbox tag is also found atop of the hospital but this time you’ll have to visit the vent. Simply climb up to the vent to grab the tag. Head down to the left section of the hospital to find the Hatbox outside, near the bush.
Memory Vaults are once again a part of the Psychonauts franchise with the same purpose and that is to contain the memories of the character it occupies. Hence, they’re also called Mental Vaults.
Unfortunately, you’ll only find a single Memory Vault on Hollis Classroom level at the third section (Morgue). Use a mental connection to access the next room and find the Memory Vault at the center of the corridor ahead.
Two separate brain parts in Psychonauts 2. Collect both pieces to gain an extra mental health pool.
You won’t drop a sweat when finding these pieces as the first one is found in the middle of the Morgue. For the second one, you’ll have to use a mental connection to reach the top part of the Morgue and find the second Half-A-Mind piece.
One of the last collectibles to be found in Psychonauts 2 are The Nuggets of Wisdom. These may come in different shapes and sizes but are identified by their golden glow.
Once you’ve found one of these collectibles, you’ve hit the jackpot as you’ll increase your rank which includes Intern Credits.
Total three Nuggets of Wisdom are found in Hollis Classroom. The first one is located at the point where you initially use the Mental connection in this level.
The second Nugget of Wisdom is found hiding behind the bushes outside of the hospital. Lastly, the third Nugget of Wisdom is found at the Chuch area of the Level.
Saved the best for the last. Unfortunately, there are too many figments to keep track and list down properly. However, due to their sheer number, you can easily find them while hunting for other collectibles as they are always in the nearby area.

Issuing banks – Banks, credit unions, and other institutions that issue credit and debit cards to cardholders via the card associations.
Card associations – American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Each of these card associations (credit card issuers) set qualification guidelines and interchange rates. They also act as arbiters between acquiring banks and issuing banks.
Merchant – Any type of business that accepts credit card payments in exchange for goods and services.
Payment processors – Companies that process credit card transactions and connect card networks, merchants, merchant banks, and others.
Credit Card Technology
To be able to process credit card payments, you’ll have to get the right technology. The most basic piece of technology involved in card processing is the EMV Smart Terminal. Brick-and-mortar shops and restaurants often use them to process cards physically. The EMV Smart Terminal will either read the chip in the credit card or scan the cards’ magnetic strips to process the transaction. Since the encrypted chip is more secure, most credit cards today use that rather than the magnetic strip. Fraudsters have the ability to collect information from the magnetic stripe and steal money from credit card accounts. On the other hand, the information on the chip is encrypted, making it harder for them to access.
Brick-and-mortar stores also use POS systems to conduct their credit card transactions. They are basically a combination of a cash register and credit card processor that makes both credit card and cash payments a more painless process.
Ecommerce businesses utilize online shopping carts that plug into their card payment services provider to enable the online credit card processing feature. Brick-and-mortar shops that conduct a portion of the business online can also use them as a payment processor.
The Motion of Credit Card Processing
When it comes to credit card processing, it works in three distinct processes: authorization, settlement, and funding.
When the cardholder comes to the checkout, they present their credit or debit card to a merchant in exchange for goods or services. The payment request might originate from a POS system or credit card terminal in a brick-and-mortar shop, an eCommerce site gateway, through in-app or mobile payment acceptance.
The merchant then sends a request for card payment authorization to their payment processor. The payment processor reaches the issuing bank by submitting transactions to the appropriate card association. Authorization requests that are made to the issuing bank include parameters such as AVS validation, CVV, and expiration date.
The issuing bank either approves or declines the transaction – a transaction can be declined if there are insufficient available credit or funds, if payment is past due if their bank account has been closed, or other factors. The approval or denial status is then sent back along the line to the card association, merchant bank, and ultimately reaches the merchant.
Settlement and Funding
The merchant sends batches of authorized transactions to their credit card payment processor, who then passes the details of all transactions to the card associations. The associations communicate the appropriate debits in all issuing banks in their network.
The issuing bank charges the cardholder’s account for the specified amount and then transfers the funds to the merchant bank. The merchant bank then sends funds into the merchant’s account.
Difference between a Payment Processor and a Payment Gateway
The roles of payment gateways and payment processors differ, yet each is an essential component in the process of accepting credit card payments.
Payment gateway – software that encrypts and securely transmits the customer’s payment data to the payment processor. It enables the merchant to provide their customers with different payment options, such as bank transfers, credit and debit card payments, eWallets, and other payment methods.
Payment processor – Executes the transaction by transmitting encrypted payment data between the customer, the merchant, the issuing bank, and the acquiring bank. The payment processor often provides the equipment needed to accept credit card payments (e.g., POS terminal).
Payment Service Providers (PSPs) partner with acquiring banks and their credit card payment processors to offer merchants the capability of accepting card payments. They typically offer services in addition to processing transactions, and these services include PCI compliance, the ability to process different currencies, and fraud protection. The PSP sends the transaction information to a payment processor used by the merchant’s acquiring bank.
Credit Card Processing Interchange Fees Explained
Credit card transactions come with certain fees since several parties are involved in credit card processing (beyond the merchant and consumer). There are various fees charged at different steps to compensate for the payment processors and banks doing the work.
The first fee is the interchange fee between the issuing banks and the acquiring bank. The issuing bank deducts this fee before the acquiring banks receive payment for the products/services provided to pass along to the merchant.
Next, the payment processor or acquiring bank will also charge a small fee before depositing funds into the merchant’s account. In other words, if your business starts accepting credit card payments, it will receive slightly less than what the customer paid. These interchange fees are typically a combination of a percentage of the sale and a one-time transaction fee. The exact fee calculation depends on the card association (e.g., MasterCard, Visa, etc.).
Businesses that offer customers more reward opportunities, more cash back, or other perks usually have higher interchange fees, which amount to about 2% of the purchase price. Also, companies may have to pay recurring fees for services provided by payment processors or acquiring banks, which can include:
- Monthly minimum fees
- Statement fees
- IRS report fees
- Next-day funding fees
- Other fees based on the services they are receiving
The Payment Processing Trends
In 2019, the Federal Reserve reported the cash wasn’t the most common payment method anymore, while credit and debit cards were becoming increasingly popular. Digital payment methods are also continually gaining momentum, which is partially driven by the influx of younger consumers. Businesses will surely benefit from introducing a variety of payment methods on their eCommerce sites or at the checkout counter. On the other hand, if your customers are already paying in cash, your business could benefit from introducing cash discount programs. These problems allow businesses to offer a variety of different payment methods but without charging large credit card processing fees.
In the future, more businesses will search for ways to simplify their payment stack. Businesses have about four acquiring banks and five gateway processors (on average). Perhaps their first gateway didn’t have a certain payment method they needed, so they added another gateway. Then, they added another because neither of the first two offered cross-border support. Eventually, in the name of improving their payment process, businesses end up with a multiplicity of payment solutions. But instead of improving it, they now struggle to manage accounts, payment data, integrations, and payouts.
Simplification is a rapidly-growing trend, and businesses are on the lookout for merchant processing companies that can provide all-in-one, reliable solutions. These solutions need to provide flexible and extensive coverage for almost anything a merchant wants to offer, but with fewer technology stack complications.
Advances in technology have made credit card processing a viable option for businesses of all sizes and across all industries (regardless of how complicated it may seem at first glance). Also, credit card transactions have become more efficient and safer and come with multiple levels of regulations. Bonita Payments can help you tailor the right POS system for your business.

This was our day today after faint recollection lead us on a little treasure hunt. To a secret place tucked away but oh so close (who knew this was only a few miles from the house we go to every weekend?). We felt like we were worlds away from everything.
So, we’ve been back in snowy New York for the about a week and the Florida bug must have been contagious because since returning I’ve had two different mom-friends ask about recommendations in The Keys. The Florida Keys are an easy escape as the start of them (Key Largo) is only about an hour and a half from the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. It’s an easy drive and great way to get a quick taste of island life. Aria’s Pop and Uncle Adam live there, so I’ve gotten quite familiar with them, especially the little treasures on Key Largo & Islamorada.
Where to stay:
The beauty of having family in any vacation spot is getting to crash with them and not worry about hotels. The Keys leave something to be desired when it comes to accommodations– a lot of roadside motels and no-frills spots that still end up being pretty pricy.
My first recommendation to friends to is check out Airbnb. Often you can find great apartments or private homes for rent (for a lot less than hotels). If you can get a waterfront spot, go for it– the beauty of the keys is really on (or in) the turquoise waters. If you can’t score being seaside, don’t worry– most of the Keys are only a mile or so wide, so you’re never really far away.
One hotel I do love is Cheeca Lodge. It has gorgeous ocean front accommodations, beautiful spa, tennis and golf courses on site and a pool and private lagoon (which is perfect for the kids). They also have Camp Cheeca,” a day camp for kids 5-12 that explores the natural wonders of the Florida Keys.
What to do:
Now that Aria’s a toddler, I got to experience The Keys in a whole different way. This go-around, I was scoping out playgrounds and kid-friendly spots. And I found them.
Founders Park: This is a municipal park in Islamorada. It’s about $5 for non-residents to park and inside there is a huge pool area (separate fee) and a very pretty little beach with calm waters and two great playgrounds. It’s definitely worth a visit with a little one. Picture above!
Theatre of the Sea: I had passed this place hundreds of time and this trip the whole family made a visit for Miss Aria. It’s a bit of a mini tropical Sea World, but one geared towards preservation and education. They have dolphin and sea lion shows, a nature walk, a fun little bottomless boat tour (where dolphins and iguana’s make appearances), and a bunch of other fun things for kids.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park: Another spot w/little beaches, endless bike and walking trails, and access to Key Largo’s best asset– the water. They do snorkeling tours and scuba tours, but you can also just rent a snorkel, mask and some fins and go in off their beaches. They are in the midst of the mangroves, which are a signature of Key Largo and great explore by kayak (also available for rent on-site).
Where to Happy Hour & Eat
There are endless spots for food and drink, but here are a couple of my regulars when in Key Largo & Islamorada.
Breakfast: Made To Order— sit out on the back deck and enjoy water views and good food.
Lunch: The Islander Resort: Go for the shrimp tacos and stay to use their pool and beach area. The pool area is “resort guest only,” but locals can always be found there. The pool also has a wide gradual entrance (zero entry) on one side and mini-waterfall which is great for the little ones.
Dinner: Morado Bay— This bayside retreat offers two great options– The Beach Cafe for casual dining and Pierre’s for a more refined dining experience. Both come along with good food and amazing views.
Happy Hour: The Lor-e-lie (Islamorda)— Great sunsets, drink specials, live music, island vibe. Grab a table or one of the adirondeck chairs next to the water (and away from bar) and let the little one loose in the sand.
Want to know another amazing Florida island spot for families? Check out my all time favorite kid-friendly vacation spot HERE.
Baby free. A rarity. Traveling with one bag filled only with my needs and one agenda– to have none. A long walk through the dunes to my private paradise. No one in sight, just a long stretch of sand, a big sky and deep blue sea.
Until recently when I heard the name Gansevoort my only association was the trendy NYC hotel chain where I would sip cocktails rooftop or work them off at Exhale. I came to find out, Gansevoort is also a town about 3 hours north of the city (near Saratoga Springs) which would become the destination of our very first road trip with little Miss A.
I had found a sweet little cabin on a farm on airbnb and since Aria is obsessed with animals I thought it would be an adventure. And, adventure it was since the cabin was without electricity or running water (I totally knew this going in), and although a very slight inconvenience at times, it totally added to the experience.
The cabin itself was gorgeous (beautiful wood interior from floor to ceiling and tons of windows) and the location was perfect for unwinding. We would wake in the mornings to total silence, except for the occasional distant whinny of one of the horses (Aria’s first word in the morning was always an exuberant “Horsey!”). Each day we would go for walks and wander down and see the animals. Evenings consisted of watching the sun go down, cooking out ( on the fire pit/dutch oven, propane burners or charcoal grill) and sitting on the front stoop star gazing and using lanterns to light our way inside. We throughly enjoyed “roughing it” and the beauty, serenity and fun we found there.
Although we could have easily stayed put and enjoyed the weekend without ever leaving the property, we ventured off and found some great local spots. On Saturday I dropped Aria’s dad to golf, and she and I hit Lake George State Park, a lovely spot with several little beaches, a very touristy beach main street and trails and campsite (we snuck in a hot shower there). On Sunday we all hit Saratoga Springs, which, much to my surprise, I loved. It has a great main street, cosmopolitan restaurants and a whole lot of charm. Of course, Saratoga is known for the horse race track so on the way back we checked out the ponies and placed a few bets which was good fun.
All around it was a winning weekend, and one I’d totally recommend for any urbanite looking to shake off the city and get back to the basics.

Project Jukebox Survey
Help us redesign the Project Jukebox website by taking a very short survey!
Bruce "Nukapiqqaq" Nukapigak
Bruce Nukapigak was born in 1900 at the head of Kuuguq ravine southeast of Barrow, Alaska. He grew up at Ualiqpaa on the coast south of Barrow and in Barrow, living a traditional subsistence lifestyle of whaling, hunting, fishing, trapping and traveling by dog team. As a whaler and seal hunter, he learned to understand the sea ice and how to travel and hunt safely on it. After he was married, he moved to Barter Island (Kaktovik), and learned about the local ice conditions as far west as Cross Island from his father-in-law (Uqumailaq’s father). Also, starting in 1932, he lived at Point McIntyre and Beechey Point for eighteen years where he again learned about the sea ice in the area where he went hunting. Bruce Nukapigak was known as an expert whaler and hunter, and had vast knowledge of the whole north coast having lived in such a variety of places. Bruce Nukapigak died on April 1, 1979.

Presentation of Queen’s Award to north Norfolk visitor attraction
- Credit: Archant
The Friends of Langham Dome will be presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service by the Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, Sir Richard Jewson, on Monday, July 8.
The community group saved the dome at the disused airfield at RAF Langham, near Wells, and converted it into a popular visitor centre and museum.
It tells the story of RAF Langham in the Second World War and the Cold War, and also of the secret war-winning invention of the dome's anti-aircraft gunnery trainer.
A short ceremony will take place at the Dome in Cockthorpe Road, Langham at 11am. The Lord Lieutenant will present the crystal and scroll to Patrick Allen from the trustees.
Fellow trustee John Blakeley said: "We are very delighted and immensely proud to receive this acknowledgment for the innovation and all the hard work undertaken to restore the dome to an iconic and unique museum."

There are very few things in life that can bring as much joy as your favorite furry four-legged companion manages to bring to our everyday lives. You would be hard-pressed to find another being with the unwavering love and loyalty that your pooch has for you.
It is not all belly rubs and scooby snacks, however, there are also certain peculiar behaviors, with one of those being his habit of sitting on you. There could be endless possibilities and places for him to park his rump, yet he still chooses to sit right in your lap. In addition to mentally planning his doggy diet, it might leave you wondering, why does my dog sit on me?
The mind of a dog is not that different from our own and their personalities vary just as considerably as well. Many dogs like to sit on people, usually their special humans, but the reason for the behavior is not always the same for each pooch.
When your dog sits on you, it could be that he is attempting to spread his scent, he is in need of something, or just wants a little attention. Other reasons could be that it makes him feel safer to be by your side and your unique scent makes him comfortable.
Digging in and getting our paws dirty will help to understand the many different explanations for Fido’s choice of booty rest. The following are the most common reasons your dog likes to sit on you (or people in general).
Why Does My Dog Sit On Me?
14. Anal Gland Situation
We are going to go ahead and get this one out of the way. Anal glands. It is gross but unfortunately dealing with them comes along with having a dog. Dogs have small grape-sized sacs on either side of their rectum. These sacs contain a fluid that dogs use to mark their territories and identify each other.
In digestively healthy dogs, the glands are naturally expressed during bowel movements, however, if they do not get emptied completely they can cause discomfort and possibly even lead to an infection. If your dogs’ anal glands are bothering him, it could be the reason he is sitting on you. Take him to the veterinarian or bravely do an anal gland expression at home.
13. He Is Being Protective
While you might be the leader of the house, Fido considers himself to be the protector. By sitting on you, he is putting himself in the line of fire so to speak and in the perfect position to protect you, his family, and his household should the need arise.
In this case, you have to regain some of the control in the relationship and let it be known that while he is a good boy for protecting his people and territory, you will be the one to let him know when and if it is needed. If he starts believing himself to be in charge, it could lead to other behavioral issues.
12. He Wants Something
Great Dane or Chihuahua, all dogs think that they are adorably cute lap dogs. If he is putting his bottom on you or in your lap, he probably thinks he’s being super cute and by being cute, he believes he will have a greater chance of getting whatever it is that he wants.
11. You’re A Comfortable Seat
Sometimes dogs are weird and sometimes they think that you appear to be more comfortable than any of their alternatives. He might like the warmth that your lap provides or his being intoxicated by your canine enticing scent, regardless, Fido has apparently decided that your lap is the newest thing in comfort.
10. He Misses You
Have you been working longer hours than usual? Have you recently been away on a trip? Even if you haven’t been gone for what you would consider an extended period of time, your dog might not see it the same way. He misses you when you go check the mail. If he has been sitting on you as of late, he could be expressing just how much he loves and misses you.
09. Staking His Claim
As far as Fido is concerned, you are his human, and that is that. By placing his bottom on you or in your lap, he is announcing his ownership over you and leaving his scent behind, effectively marking ‘his territory’ at the same time. This possessiveness can end up causing aggression in the future.
08. Injured Or In Pain
When your pet is in pain or injured, his first instinct is to find you so that you can fix it. By sitting on you, it could mean that he is trying to draw your attention to something or is seeking your help. There are usually, but not always, other signs and symptoms of injury or pain, such as whimpering, salivating, and tenderness. Do a once over and if you have any concerns contact your veterinarian.
07. He Is Feeling Unwell
If your boy is feeling a bit under the weather, it might make him feel a little bit better by sitting in your lap. It is just his way of feeling closer to you when he is needing you the most. This would probably be one of the few instances where you can let the behavior slide.
06. He Needs To Go Potty
When your dog really has to ‘go’, he can’t exactly verbalize his need to you. Many times they will sit by the door or even sit on you to let you know that it is, in fact, potty time. This behavior is typically accompanied by excited barking and/or yelping and general hyperactivity. Teaching your pooch an alternative way of alerting you of their ‘need’ will usually correct this particular acting out.
If your precious pup feels that he is not getting enough of his deserved attention and affection, he might use sitting on you as a reminder to this fact. You might be tempted to lavish him with hugs and kisses, but you must resist! (Ok, that may have been a bit dramatic but I digress) The way to combat this is by putting him in ‘doggy time out’. No attention, no eye contact, nothing, for about 10-15 minutes. You do not want to reinforce attention-seeking behaviors.
Jealousy can play a massive role in certain pet behaviors, this one in particular. If you have brought any kind of competition into the household lately then that could be why Fido has been sitting on you. This perceived competition could be another pet, a new human friend, or even a new gadget that he feels is taking your time away from him.
03. Fear And/Or Nervousness
Much like when he seeks you out when he is unwell or injured, he is also likely to do so when he is scared or nervous. You are the one who provides him comfort, love, shelter, and food, and you also protect him just as much as he does you. Correcting the situation is the key here, find out what caused the reaction and go from there. Sitting on you, in this case, can get a pass, after all everybody needs a safe space!
02. The Most Coveted Spot In The House
As the leader of the household, you are considered the ‘alpha’ and your lap is acknowledged as the most coveted spot in the house. If he is sitting in your lap, or on your leg/arm/head, then he is essentially sharing the throne. This is going to be even more common in a multi-pet house, as he has to compete with others that are also vying for the ‘alphas’ attention.
01. You Radiate Their Favorite Scent
A dog has one of the most powerful noses in the animal kingdom and where we identify each other by name, canines typically know you by your individual scent. With the exception of maybe steak, your is the scent that he cherishes the most and by sitting on you he is not only spreading his scent, but he is also taking yours in as well.
Should You Allow This Behavior?
Now a furry butt in your lap every now and then may not seem like such a big deal, that is unless that furry bottom is attached to a 150 pound Saint Bernard! Or if you happen to have company over to your home, that is allergic, scared, or just has a general interest in dogs, one that tends to enjoy sitting on people, might make for an awkward encounter. While you might not mind him sitting on you, it is in everyone’s best interest to curb the behavior.
How To Train Your Dog Not To Sit On You
Luckily, breaking the habit is not as hard as you would think. Typically it just takes some time and a lot of patience. Using positive reinforcement, that is conditioning the dog to not sit on you (or others) by praising and encouraging him when he successfully restrains from doing so. Also, consistently telling him no, in a firm, even tone, if he does happen to try to sit on you or someone else.
Until we build a machine that can effectively tell us what our beloved pets are trying to convey (why hasn’t this happened already???!!!), we are left to try to decipher their sometimes odd actions and complex body language. The bottom line is, only you know your dog, and they truly are furry little individuals, more so than we tend to give them credit for.
Literally no two are exactly alike with the same reasonings for their madness. It should be approached and assessed on a case by case basis, do what is actually going to work for you. And, if none of our advice helps, you could always show him how it feels by sitting in his lap. Ya know, as long as he isn’t a chihuahua (this is a joke, use your good judgment)! Cheers and good luck, it’s likely to be a ruff ride.

It is a potent energizer of wealth and a must for those seeking to solidify their wealth luck.

When you first arrive in Italy, it may seem that living plastic free in Italy is not as popular as in other countries. You will see plastic water bottles everywhere, straws, and so much single use waste. Over time I have started to find solutions to the plastic waste I create here in Italy. Let me tell you, it took some time. Many products I found were on Amazon at the beginning and that seems counter-intuitive as if I am bothering to go plastic free in Italy, I would also like to shop local.
Plastic Free Stores around Italy
You can find some shops that are plastic free in italy in certain cities.
One of my favorites in Torino is Negozio Leggero they are located in Asti, Bergamo, Bormio, Milano, Lugano, Palermo, Roma, and Torino.
Here you can get a range of plastic-free beauty products made with all-natural ingredients. Many are solid or in glass containers, most of which can be brought back for a discount on your next purchase. You can also find candy, cereals, flour, rice, spices, teas, cookies, beans, and lentils all in bulk,. You can either bring your own container or they will put them in a paper bag for you. Negozio Leggero also has vino sfuso, and olive oil sfuso, plus dish soap, laundry detergent, various house cleaners, you name it. For these things, you do have to bring a container. They will refill it for you. Lately, I have also noticed they have Kefir and Yogurt starters so you can make your own in glass containers!
Something I really love about Negozio Leggero is they are the only plastic-free toothpaste option I have found. They have it in a glass container with a pump, and it can be brought back and refilled.
The only thing is this, it is a chain, the prices are a bit higher, and I cannot say 100% where their ingredients come from. However, on the plastic-free living scale, it is heaven.
A little store I was told about in Florence. Green Go is a small bottega with plastic free beauty and house products as well as foodstuffs in bulk.
CapoVerso – Rome
Two options for shopping in Rome with refillable detergents and sfuso products.
In Select pharmacies around Italy, you can find some “alla spina” products. Meaning, on tap, there are refillable detergents and dish soaps. The company is Biolu, all their products are all-natural and vegan. You have to buy their container, but then you bring it back time after time and refill it.
These are both organic food stores you can find all around Italy. Both have a large selection of organic, gluten-free and vegan food. But on top of that, there are many bulk food options and plastic-free goodies. They also carry the Biolu detergents mentioned above. I have noticed every store is different so it is not guaranteed they will all have the same selection but they are a good start!
The obvious choice when it comes to plastic-free beauty worldwide, Lush can be found in nearly every major city in Italy, as well as online. They offer a wide selection of plastic free beauty options with their solid soaps, shampoos, and conditioners. However, they do use minimal chemicals in their products, and still, sell over half their products in plastic, so I sometimes feel torn using them.
Online Options for living Plastic Free in Italy
Finding plastic free in Italy is probably easiest online. There are plenty of online shops to find beauty and house goods. Unfortunately these stores are often more expensive as the shipping costs add up. Some otionsa are:
- FriendlyShop.it Shipping from 4.90 euro in Italy and free over 68 euros
- Serendipity Shipping starts at 7,50 euro, and free after 65 euro
- Weenooplaa Shipping starts at 10 euros, Free shipping over 80euros in Italy.
- Gea Primarily beauty products, including deodorant and toothpaste! However, free shipping only over 100 euros!
Take Advantage of the Market
Best way to live plastic free in Italy when it comes to food: shop at the market! Bring your own bag and ask vendors not to put veggies and fruits in one of their bags. Though normally these market bags are biodegradable and you can use them for holding compost. Markets will have all the fruit, veggies, meat, salumi, cheeses, you can want. Depending on your market you may also find milk, coffee, and other necessities in plastic free form. Best to keep an eye out and check it out. For example, at Porta Palazzo in Turin, I have found fresh pasta stands that will put all pasta in a paper bag. As well as vendors who sell greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and mozzarella in bulk. Now, if you order directly, they will always put it in a flimsy plastic container, BUT if you bring your own container, they are happy to fill it up for you. So save all your glass or sturdy plastic containers and bring it on by next time!
Some Plastic Free in Italy Essentials
Shampoo Bar- The best way to start cutting plastic out of your beauty routine, look for a shampoo bar. You don’t even have to look for a special store. You can find the Garnier Shampoo bar even in your local supermarket. They have different versions for your hair type. Each bar is worth 500ml of shampoo (that’s two bottles!), and only costs about the same as one. Check them out next time you’re in the store!
Bees WaxWrap- Italians use a lot of plastic wraps, from saving cheese, to leftovers, wrapping just the remainder of an onion. That is why I found some Bees Wrap. While the original version from Middlebury VT was not easy to find in Italy, I did find an Italian brand that has started producing this plastic wrap alternative. I have primarily seen it in Eataly or at a few of the above mentioned online shops.
Water Bottles- Do not let the Italians fool you- ALL WATER IN ITALY IS DRINKABLE. And most cities have fountains throughout the city where you can fill up your water bottle, so make sure to always have one on hand. If you are oddly picky about your water, get yourself a BRITA or, look out for the SMAT points, which provides filtered water, free if it is natural, 5 cents a half liter for frizzante.
Travel Cups & Picnic Equipment – When summer rolls around, you will find you often go to the park or even the beach for a little picnic. While most may opt for an easy plastic purchase in the store, there are alternatives. Keep an eye out for some sturdier plastic cups, or silicone collapsible ones. Camping cutlery is also a good idea.
A note on Recycling Waste-
The beautiful thing about Italy is that you are forced to separate trash, and nearly everything can go into one of the recycling bins. Every city is different, and in fact, every street within the city is different. But essentially trash is separated into Plastic, Glass and Aluminum, Paper, Compost and the rest. Again every location is different, for example in half of Turin, there is Compost, in other areas of the center, there is not. Certain towns allow Tetra-Pak to be recycled in paper, others say no, it is trash or plastic.
Now even though this system is fantastic and in the end your actual “trash” ends up being low…. I still have NO idea where those recycled and compost categories go. I have never seen a recycling plant and never heard any mention. If anyone does have any information about this I would so love to learn about so send me a note! Either way, it at least makes me feel a bit better and I do see many products made with recycled materials.
Know another great spot?
Of course, this is probably not a complete list, and I am always looking for more options. Send me a message if you have anywhere else I should add to the list.

South Africans can expect an intense cold front, with chilly and wet conditions mid-week, as a cold front makes landfall in the Western Cape on Wednesday, 10 June.
Charlotte Powell, Disaster Risk Management Centre spokesperson, said all City of Cape Town services and external agencies would be on standby to deal with the predicted adverse weather conditions.
“Residents are reminded to please ensure that they remove any potential blockages around their homes to limit the risk of localised flooding.”
Significant rainfall and snowfalls are expected for the mountainous regions of the Western and Eastern Cape, including the extreme southern areas of the Northern Cape as from Wednesday.
Rainfall (5-20 mm) is expected to start on Tuesday afternoon over parts of the Western Cape ahead of the cold front, with continuous rainfall expected until Thursday 11 June.
Mayco member for Safety and Security JP Smith added: “With the onset of winter and the predicted bad weather for this week, I call upon motorists to exercise extra caution on the roads.”
The cold front will result in strong to gale force coastal and interior winds, heavy rain, very cold conditions, and rough seas:
- Gale force north-westerly winds (60 to 65km/h) are expected between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas on Tuesday evening. Strong to gale force interior winds (55 to 75km/h) and gusting winds (65 to 85km/h) are expected over the Cape Metropole on Wednesday.
- Very rough seas are expected from Wednesday morning with wave heights becoming 4-5m, reaching 6-7m between Cape Columbine and Cape Agulhas.
- Significant rainfall is expected across the metropole from Wednesday, and fairly cold temperatures.
Temperatures in the Western Cape and the Northern Cape are expected to drop significantly over the next 24 hours with heavy rain, strong winds, flooding and possible snowfall.
Forecaster Tokelo Chiloane said the wet and windy conditions would reach Gauteng, the Free State, and Mpumalanga by the end of the week.
Any weather-related emergencies should be reported to the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by dialing 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.

At a Tiger Summit Today in St. Petersburg Russia, global wildlife experts predict that Wild Tigers could become extinct in 12 years if countries where they still roam fail to take quick action to protect their habitats and step up the fight against poaching.
The World Wildlife Fund and other experts say only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, a dramatic plunge from an estimated 100,000 a century ago.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been working hard all year to help save the world’s tiger population, which as you may recall are in dire straights. As the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) reported, there may be as few as 3200 tigers left in the wild. And recently it was reported that there are more tigers in (cruel) captivity in the U.S. than roaming wild in Asia. DiCaprio, however, is doing his part. First by donating a cool million dollars to the WWF’s tiger campaign and then by going through extreme travel challenges to meet with Vladimir Putin, the Russian Prime Minister, to discuss the tiger situation.

How long does it take to boil a 5.5 lb chicken?
Place chicken in a large pot with onion, carrots, celery and peppercorns; add water to cover. Cover pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook for about 90 minutes, or until chicken meat is falling off of the bone.
How many minutes per pound do you boil a chicken?
It takes approximately 1 1/2 hours to boil a 3-4lb fresh whole chicken. If the chicken is larger than 4lb, add 15 minutes per pound to the total cooking time. Add 15 minutes to the total cooking time for a frozen chicken. It will take approximately 1 hour + 45 minutes to boil a 3-4lb frozen whole chicken.
How long does it take to cook a 5lb chicken breast?
As a general rule, calculate a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound of meat plus an additional 10 – 20 minutes at a temperature of 375ºF (190ºC). Therefore, a 5 lb chicken will need to be roasting in the oven for at least 1h 50 mins. A 5 lb bird will serve between 4 – 5 people.

How can you tell if boiled chicken is done?
How do you know when boiled chicken is done? Your chicken is done when it’s firm, no pink remains in the center and (if you need it) a meat thermometer registers 165. It’s fine to pull it from the water and cut it open. If it’s still pink just put it back in to cook.
How do you boil chicken for dogs?

Can I boil frozen chicken?
FACT: Chicken can be cooked from frozen. It will take about 50% longer than thawed chicken and you must use a fast cooking method. Cooking it in the oven or on the stove is OK according to the USDA (under the Safe Defrosting headline) so boil and simmer away!
Can you boil chicken with chicken broth?
BROTH/WATER Boiling chicken in broth adds flavor to the chicken and the chicken adds flavor to the broth, it’s a win-win! It’s fine to boil chicken in water too. Add a little salt and pepper for flavor, if desired.
How do you boil a whole frozen chicken?

Supplementary Materialsmmc1. by extra cell or molecular natural assays in the same cell test. systems. Next, the few commercial LPL assays that are optimized for application require cell homogenization and harvesting. Thus, cells can’t be employed for further cell or molecular natural investigations, which allows a more extensive characterization from the particular test substance [1,16]. For instance, the dimension of LPL activity coupled with following RT-qPCR or American blot analyses can serve as a good device for the id of transcriptional regulators of LPL activity. For this good reason, we made a decision to create a basic cell lifestyle structured real-time fluorescence assay for the dimension of LPL activity that may be coupled with cell and molecular natural analyses PX-478 HCl irreversible inhibition from the same cell test. In our technique, LPL activity is normally measured utilizing a fluorescently tagged and quenched LPL substrate in conjunction with isolated VLDL for arousal of LPL activity. Necessary reagents and apparatus (1) Lowry or Bradford assay)? Isolated VLDL could be kept under nitrogen atmosphere at 4?CNote: It’s important to work with the isolated VLDL within seven days for the respective experimental techniques to make sure high VLDL quality also to avoid lipid oxidation. (2) program can be done in principle. Technique validation The purpose of this research was to determine a straightforward fluorescence-based assay to permit the original characterization of potential regulatory substances concentrating on the LPL program. We made a decision to develop this process because obtainable LPL assays weren’t ideal for this demand commercially. Preliminary experiments uncovered that the typical RPMI-1640 cell lifestyle medium needed to be changed by phenol red-free RPMI-1640 for cell incubation in order to avoid fluorescence interferences. To allow perseverance of LPL PX-478 HCl irreversible inhibition activity, we utilized a quenched, fluorescently tagged LPL substrate (very similar approach as defined in [12,13]) inside our incubation method. The quenched substrate fluoresces upon hydrolysis by LPL, so the measured FI beliefs are proportional to the quantity of hydrolyzed substrate and therefore LPL activity. Further, we made a decision to make use of VLDL as positive control, because arousal of LPL activity by VLDL provides been proven in plasma measurements currently. Furthermore, orlistat, a well-established and utilized LPL inhibitor medically, , was added as a poor control. For the original establishment from the assay method, individual THP-1 macrophages PX-478 HCl irreversible inhibition had been treated as defined in the section Supplemental Materials/and or more information. After 24?h real-time dimension, we pointed out that incubation with VLDL (within a concentration equal to 50?g/ml protein) improved the measured FI values, indicating improved LPL activity, in the right period dependent way. Fluorescence intensity beliefs from the neglected control as well as the VLDL-treated test (positive control) advanced in a considerably different range (dimension of LPL activity. Open up in another screen Fig. 1 (A) Preliminary establishment from the LPL assay method. Individual THP-1 macrophages had been pre-incubated with 50?M orlistat (detrimental control). After 24?h, VLDL (positive control, proteins focus of 50?g/ml) as well as the fluorescently labelled LPL subtrate were put into the corresponding wells. Fluorescence strength (FI) of every well was driven Hoxd10 hourly over 24?h in Ex girlfriend or boyfriend/Em?=?485/520?nm ( 0.001) and after 24?h by approximately 200-flip (assay for the evaluation from the connections of test substances using the LPL program. The assay method provides many advantages over available LPL assays: (i) 12-well cell lifestyle plate style for the simultaneous analysis as high as three different PX-478 HCl irreversible inhibition check substances (including all assay handles); PX-478 HCl irreversible inhibition (ii) 24?h real-time acquisition of LPL activity data for the id of the perfect period point for even more measurements; and (iii) LPL activity dimension could be complemented by extra cell and molecular natural analyses using the same cell examples. Nevertheless, we know that the existing assay design provides limitations and requirements additional improvements: (i) Inside our tests, VLDL was isolated from just a.

You think you’ve seen strange? Man, this guitar right here is probably the most bizarre of the bizarre! I mean, come on! How wacky can you get!?!?! Totally original design here! This one had me stumped for a while but I finally figured it all out, and what a relief too!
Check out those crazy horns! Very reminiscent of the Tokai Hummingbird guitars. But then check out that crazy upper bout, and the triangular inlays, and the nutso split pickups, and the Burns-like pick guard!! I got this guitar in New Jersey and when I laid my eyes on this one, I was just in awe. I just would not be a good poker player.
The guitar has plenty of wear and finish checking. And good grief, the neck was so messed up. In fact, almost everything about this guitar was messed up! It ALL needed serious work by a serious tech, and thank god for Dave D’Amelio!!! He spent DAYS on this guitar, and we were both pleased with the results. This sicko is now an everyday player, which is the goal of all my guitars. I just don’t believe in wall hangers, although when you start to accumulate so many guitars then some tend to stay on the wall longer than others. But this psycho is getting some regular play right now!
OK, so here’s what I found out about this guitar. It was made at the old Teisco factory after Teisco was absorbed/taken over/bought out by Kawai. All Teisco guitars from 1967 onwards were made at the Kawai factory, but the old Teisco factory continued to produce guitars into the 1970s, and this one is the weirdest example, right?
The headstock is very similar to my Imperial 4 pickup guitar, and I’ve talked to two other “experts” that own these and have seen these guitars with an Imperial badge. But it wasn’t until I spoke with a really nice Japanese fellow named Ryo (or Ryo san in Japanese, hey, I’m learning!!) that I learned even more about these guitars. There was a music store in Tokyo owned by a company called Hara Gakki. They carried a full line of guitars that carried the brand name….get this….BURNS!!! That’s right, not Burns of London, but there was a Burns of Tokyo! Hara Gakki started selling the Japanese Burns guitars in the spring of 1967, and supposedly stopped around 1969. Of course, these Burns guitars were never meant for sale outside of Japan, but apparently some of this exact style were imported by the Imperial Accordian Company. Either way, this is one of the more rare Japanese guitars to ever cross the ocean.
Other Burns (Tokyo) guitars included some Fender copies, and some semi-original designs very similar to some Noble and Norma guitars from the later 1960s. So once again, I can sleep well at night knowing I figured something out! And our post wouldn’t be complete without leaving you with a video of Mike Dugan playing one of the wackiest guitars either of us had ever seen! He was almost scared of this one!

The Director Identification Number (DIN) regime commences today. This is a mandatory requirement that applies to all Australian company directors.
What does this mean?
Under Part 9.1A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act), any person who is, or will be, a director of:
- a company, a registered Australian body or a registered foreign company registered under the Corporations Act; or
- an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (Cth) (CATSI Act)
is required to have a DIN.
The DIN is a unique number that is issued to that director and will assist other parties (namely regulatory authorities) to identify individuals appointed as a director of multiple companies. The primary objective behind the DIN regime is to combat illegal phoenix activity.
The DIN regime is being implemented over a staged transition period, which commences today. Relevant dates for compliance by existing directors are:
- 30 November 2022 (for directors of organisations registered under the Corporations Act): and
- 30 November 2023 (for directors of organisations registered under the CATSI Act).
Persons currently appointed as directors can apply for a DIN and must obtain a DIN by 30 November 2022.
Persons who are appointed from today as a director of a company are required to apply for a DIN within 28 days of that appointment.
Relevantly, from 5 April 2022, all persons who:
- are to be appointed as a director of a company; and
- do not have a DIN,
must apply for a DIN before they are appointed as a director of the relevant company.
This requirement applies even where that person is a director of another company (and, by virtue of that other directorship, would have had until 30 November 2022 to obtain a DIN).
Set out below is a table of the relevant dates by which directors and prospective directors must apply for a DIN.
|Date of appointment as a director||Date by which an application for a DIN must be made|
|Directors of organisations registered under the Corporations Act||On or before 31 October 2021||By 30 November 2022|
|Between 1 November 2021 and 4 April 2022||Within 28 days of appointment|
|From 5 April 2022||Before appointment|
|Directors of organisations registered under the CATSI Act||On or before 31 October 2022||By 30 November 2023|
|From 1 November 2022||Before appointment|
Applying for a DIN
Directors who hold Australian identification documents or an Australian tax file number can lodge an application for a DIN:
- using their myGovID login;
- by telephone (with the Australian Business Registry Services (ABRS)); or
- by paper application form submitted to the ABRS.
The obligation to obtain a DIN also applies to overseas based directors. They need to submit a paper application form together with certified copies of identification documents. Any identification documents will need to be translated into English.
If you would like further information relating to the DIN requirements, please contact Jamie Nettleton or Jessenia Prado-Banton.

The Materials World Modules (MWM), funded by the National Science Foundation, is a series of nine short texts that introduce science and scientific concepts to high school students through guided investigations of the materials that surrounds us in the modern world. Designed to be flexible, these modules can be incorporated into a high school science curriculum as a learning-by-inquiry addition to the main science texts. Depending on the time that the teacher has, each module can be covered in 8 to 15 class periods. Using an inquiry method of learning, the modules prompt the students to generate questions about a subject and find experimental approaches which will lead them to the answers. The modules encourage the students to learn by carrying out simple experiments using readily available materials. The Polymers Module of the MWM series aims at introducing the concepts of polymer chemistry and polymeric materials to an audience that has had some exposure to general chemistry. It asks the students to investigate their surroundings to find polymer-based objects and to infer the properties of those objects from knowing the structures of the monomeric building blocks. It introduces the relation between polymer properties and structure and that between polymer properties and molecular weight by suggesting experiments that students can do with poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl acetate) films. Finally, it encourages the students to use what they have learned to design simple devices using polymeric materials. An example of such a device is a humidity sensor that is fabricated from thin polymer films.

Arcadia, CA (May 31, 2021) – Perfectionistic was trailing early but first when it counted in the 3rd race at Santa Anita, a six furlong allowance over the firm turf course with a purse of $64,500.
Breaking from the outside post in the field of eight, the son of Vronsky did not have early foot of his competitors. He settled into a steady cadence down the backstretch and began to close the gap midway around the far turn. Circling the field, he came roaring down the outside and got up in the final stride to win by a nose.
Perfectionistic is now two-for-three lifetime and he has earned $71,300 for the partnership of The Ellwood Johnston Trust, Ashley Baze, Mary Hilvers, Peter Hilvers, and Ken Tevelde. Traind by Phil D’Amato, he was produced by the Poteen mare, Seasontoperfection.

What a difference a year makes.
Offering a scholarship to a random 13-year-old probably isn't the most prudent recruiting gamble, but in this case, Vols coach Lane Kiffin is doubling down on 11. Berry's father, James, was a star running back at Tennessee. Eric might be the nation's best collegiate safety. Evan has a twin brother, Elliot, who also could eventually climb on board.
"Yes, I committed to Tennessee," Evan told Jamie Newberg of Rivals.com. "It's the only college I know right now and it seems the best for me. My dad went there and my brother is there now. I know I can do the same things there. I have a real friendly relationship with the coaches there. I know I don't know them too well but I know I will have plenty of time to get to know them. I want to play in the secondary, and I want to play for coach [Monte] Kiffin."
Of course, there's no guarantee Evan Berry will ever run through the T. In 1998, Wake Forest offered a scholarship to eighth-grader Chris Leak. The Demon Deacons looked to be in pretty good shape. They had just signed Leak's older brother, C.J., but after C.J. injured his knee, he transferred to Tennessee. Chris, a frequent visitor to Knoxville after his brother's transfer, dropped the Vols because of a perceived slight against C.J. and wound up signing with Florida. Who was the crazy Wake Forest coach who offered young Chris Leak that scholarship? Only Jim Caldwell, the current head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
So, I guess it is OK if Kiffin did it for UT...but not USC?
Outrage sells papers...increases page views or click through's...but often it is hypocritical.
It makes no difference to me. The kid won't be eligible for 5 years...a lot can happen between now and then. There is no downside to this. The kid can go where he wants, if he chooses to stay with SC and is a bust he still gets the benefits of a USC education. That is something that is worth its weight in gold.
The answer is simple here...if this is such a problem the NCAA can make rules to guard against it. The NCAA likes rules as we all know so I am sure they will feel more than comfortable in writing a few more. The media and haters will continue to use Kiffin as a punching bag but if he wins the joke will be on them.
He is big boy he can handle it...

HOW TO SHOWER WITH DRY SKIN
There are a few things you can do in the shower that’ll help stop your skin from drying out as much. And luckily, freestyling bars for your next mixtape isn’t on there. Here’s what we’ve got:
- Take cooler showers... We’re not talking about taking a shower that can nail a no-look crossbar challenge first time; we’re talking heat – hot water strips away natural oils quicker and will leave your skin feeling dryer.
- …Or shorter ones. If you love warm showers but you’re still trying to figure out how to wash dry skin best, take a shorter shower!
- Take fewer showers. We know showers are great, but you might be jumping in there too often for your lifestyle. We reckon we’ve cracked the formula over heeeeere.
- Swap out your products. Look at using a shower gel or body wash for dry skin or sensitive skin – a lot of shower gels clean a bit too well and remove your skin’s natural oils.
And if you’re looking for a new shower gel for dry skin – try looking for one that’s dermatologically tested and full of plant-based moisturisers that’ll keep your skin feeling brilliantly soft. Maybe (just maybe) that shower gel could also wash away bad bacteria and leave you smelling epic for 12 hours.
But such a thing couldn’t exist… could it?
And once you’ve got your shower gel for dry skin sorted and your dry skin shower routine nailed, it’s time to think about the post-shower plan.
HOW TO LOOK AFTER DRY SKIN: POST-SHOWER TIPS
Sorting out the showering is only half the battle. And as much fun as it is, sitting in your towel on your bed, looking at your phone for half an hour, our post-shower routine will probably help your dry skin out a bit more than that.
- Pat yourself down. Thrashing yourself all over with your towel might seem like the best (or quickest) option here, but it’s not great for your skin because it irritates it. Patting yourself down with your towel is the better, less rough way to do it.
- Moisturise. Try do moisturise within like three minutes of getting out of the shower. It basically stops the water from evaporating off your skin, meaning the water’s moisture stays in contact with your skin longer. Sounds like magic – and when you try it, you might just believe it is.
Alright, so it turns out knowing how to wash dry skin (and how to look after dry skin, post-shower) is pretty easy. And you’ll feel so much more confident when you’re treating your skin like a VIP. Plus, with Lynx Body Wash you’ll have an awesome high-definition scent all over you for 12 hours. And when you smell epic, you make epic things happen.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Montreal Alouettes are back and quite possibly better than ever.
Finally taking the field for the first time since November 2019, the Alouettes started their season versus the Edmonton
Eskimos Elks and completely dominated the newly-renamed Alberta squad by a 30-13 score. This was Montreal’s first win at Commonwealth Stadium since October 2013 and the rest of the Canadian Football League immediately sat up and took notice.
A lot has changed since the Alouettes lost that heartbreaking Eastern Semi-Final game against this same Edmonton team. The Alouettes have new ownership, new front office and some new faces in the lineup. But the one constant that led to the Alouettes’ return to relevance was still very much in place: Head Coach Khari Jones and starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. Together, they set the tone for the return to glory for the Birds of Prey and last night they shut down a lot of critics.
Adams looked at peace behind centre, knowing that this is 100% his team. His final numbers weren’t outstanding but the plays he made were, finding both Jake Wieneke and B.J. Cunningham for touchdowns. Wieneke’s touchdown catch was incredible, catching the ball with his fingertips then rolling upright into the end zone untouched by defenders.
After missing most of 2019 with a wrist injury, Cunningham had a lot to prove and he helped his quarterback in a major way, making outstanding catches and hauling in a nice little pass to duck into the end zone for six. B.J. has been with the Alouettes since 2015 and has always shown that he belongs and can be that playmaker many expected him to be. Now the longest-serving member of this receiving corps, Cunningham came into camp looking to be a leader and the game he had last night was very much him leading by example for junior receivers like Kaion Julien-Grant and Dante Absher.
The Alouettes’ ground game was re-established by William Stanback, as he bulldozed through Edmonton’s defensive line for 112 yards. Stanback also maintained his league-best 6.2 yards per carry average from 2019 last night, absorbing hits and keeping those powerful legs of his churning. His backup Jeshrun Antwi managed four carries for thirteen yards, ensuring that this young ratio-breaker is given more chances to perform on a big stage.
But when you talk about performing on a big stage, look no further than returner Mario Alford, who came out of nowhere in 2019 to become a force on special teams. He returned several kicks/punts for touchdowns last season and picked up right where he left last night, returning a punt 86 yards for the first of what should be several touchdowns this campaign. Alford is a bonafide threat and opposing teams will now surely be avoiding kicking in his direction.
The Alouettes also have a new placekicker in David Cote, who was drafted in the fifth round of this year’s CFL Draft. He had himself a great outing, making three of four field goals with his one miss a result due to a bobbled snap. Interestingly enough, Cote is not expected to handle both kicking and punting duties. Global Draft pick Joseph Zema is tasked with punts and serving as Cote’s placeholder. For the first time since 1986, no one kicker is expected to do double-duty (a trick former GM Jim Popp used to open up an additional roster spot). This was the first look at the former Universite de Laval kicker in action and I’d say he was up to the tall task at hand.
I don’t know which hotel the Alouettes stayed in whilst in Edmonton, but I know where newly acquired defensive lineman Almondo Sewell was residing the past few days; inside the head of Elks QB Trevor Harris. And he was staying there rent-free.
Earlier in the week in talking to the media, Sewell stated that once you hit Harris, he starts folding. That phrase immediately became bulletin board material and all eyes were on Sewell and this Alouettes defensive line to see if they can back up such a bold statement.
When the dust settled, turned out that Almondo was 100% on the money. The same Trevor Harris that surgically carved up the Alouettes in their 2019 playoff game looked like that proverbial elk in the headlights. Harris got pressured. Harris got hit. Harris truly folded.
As the Alouettes turned up the heat on Edmonton’s signal-caller, Harris proved very beatable and this defense gave him plenty of fits. Had Ty Cranston been able to hold on to a poorly-aimed pass right in his numbers and Sewell not given his ex-QB a little love tap during a Tyquan Glass pick-six, Harris would have TWO interceptions among his stats.
Having failed to find the end zone versus the Ottawa RedBlacks last week, Harris made every effort to march his team downfield and score. It finally happened in the fourth quarter as he found Shai Ross in the end zone for a TD. But by then, Montreal has established a complete dominance over the Elks, who are still searching for their first win under this new moniker.
I stated in numerous media appearances this past week that as I looked at this Alouettes 2021 roster, I really had a hard time finding any weak spots. For the most part, I do still feel that way but if I had to find any faults in the Alouettes’ play last night in Edmonton, I’d have to start with the long snapping.
After years of successful work by long-time Alouette and Grey Cup champion Martin Bedard, the Alouettes decided to go in a different direction for their long-snapping and enlisted Pierre-Luc Caron, formerly of the Calgary Stampeders. Caron wanted to continue his CFL career closer to his native Quebec and the obvious place was with the Montreal Alouettes. In his debut wearing red & blue, Caron sailed a few balls pretty high towards his punter Joseph Zema, affecting his ability to get the ball downfield effectively.
Caron also played a part in David Cote’s lone field goal miss, but I consider that a team effort in that unfortunate circumstance. Here’s hoping that this was just a small case of opening night jitters for Caron, eager to prove his worth to his new squad.
This Alouettes offensive line has a new look to it and did a decent job overall in protecting their QB while creating lanes for William Stanback. But they did let Adams take a few unnecessary licks. After weeks of going up against their teammates, obviously it was going to be a bit different having other football players to go up against. These are correctable errors and I am certain that O-Line coach Luc Brodeur-Jourdain will get his charges right in no time.
The Alouettes looked very impressive right out of the gate, putting a lot of doubters in their place. But they cannot rest on their laurels; they’ll be back in Alberta this coming Friday to face the Calgary Stampeders, who sit at a shocking 0-2. The Stamps have been embarrassed twice in their own barn and after this display by Montreal, will not be taking them lightly.
Last year saw the Als and Stamps in a thrilling game that needed both overtime mini-games to determine a winner. Despite their current record, this Calgary team is far from a pretender. But it’s clear that the Alouettes have a game plan and aren’t going to be intimidated by any opponent this season.
We didn’t see much from the Alouettes during training camp due to closed-off practices and a lack of a pre-season. But if yesterday’s game was any indication, this team has done its homework and truly selected the best possible team to compete in this league. Alouettes Nation, this better get your juices flowing!
2019 was the laying down of a winning foundation here in Montreal. While it’s still very early, it’s clear that the next building blocks are being put into place by Coach Khari and his crew. This team has a LOT of potential to be very successful not just this season, but for years to come. Fans have to be very excited at what is to come.
That’s all for now. As I enter my tenth year of writing this blog, I’m truly excited to see what this team can do. The Canadian Football League is back and so are your Montreal Alouettes. No question that the talent is there, now they just have to finish what they have started.
Make sure you tune back here later to preview Friday’s tilt versus Calgary. Also, check out the Alouettes Flightdeck podcast as Tim Capper and myself break down this impressive win versus Edmonton. You can find the podcast here and on your favourite podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio and even on Youtube! Search using the key words “Alouettes Flightdeck” just about anywhere you listen to podcasts.
I’m hoping that you will all join me for the ride as this team settles in and plays some great football to finish this summer and roll into the autumn as one of the CFL’s premier teams.
As they say, nature is healing. Once again, thanks for reading.

BAGHDAD (AP) – A small clay tablet dating back 3,500 years ago containing part of the epic of Gilgamesh that was stolen from an Iraqi museum 30 years ago and recently discovered in the United States, formally returned to Iraq on Tuesday.
The $ 1.7 million cuneiform tablet, known as the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet, is one of the oldest extant literary works in the world and one of the oldest religious texts. It was found in 1853 as part of a collection of 12 tablets in the ruins of the library of Assyrian king Assur Banipal.
The plaque was stolen from an Iraqi museum during the 1991 Gulf War. Officials believe it was smuggled into the United States in 2003, then sold to the Hobby Lobby and eventually displayed at its Museum of the Bible in Washington.

Federal Domestic Security agents removed the tablet from the museum in September 2019. A federal judge in New York approved the seizure of the tablet in July this year.
The plaque was handed over to the Iraqi authorities on Tuesday at a ceremony at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry in the presence of UNESCO officials, as well as Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and Hassan Nadhem, Iraqi Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities.
“We managed to find about 17,926 artifacts from several countries, namely America, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands,” Hussein said.
UNESCO described the restoration of the valuable artifact as the culmination of decades of cooperation between the United States and Iraq, which signed the 1970 UNESCO Convention.

Zandvoort history really can be fascinating with much to discover. Here is a brief summary.
Early Zandvoort History
The first mention of Zandvoort in any history records dates back to the time of Count Floris V who had a bastard son called Witte van Haemstede (1280/1282–1321). Witte’s half-brother John I, Count of Holland, gave him the property of Haemstede, in Southern Holland and in 1304, Witte landed near a place known as Sandevoerde while he was at war with the Flemish, who were threatening the city of Haarlem. The ‘voerde’ of Sandevoerde would have indicated a ford or fordable place in the dunes which could be waded through, thus connecting sea and land. The dunes at that time were mostly swamps, but Zandvoort had a fordable area by which the land could be quite easily reached from the sea.
At that time, the village was ruled by the Lords of Brederode (The Lords of Brederode were closely descended from the Counts of Holland and the powerful Van Teylingen family) During the Protestant Reformation, the Van Brederode family left Holland, their properties were confiscated by the government and the the States of Holland took over the territory. The small village of Zandvoort at the time would have consisted of about 100 houses, under the jurisdiction of the Bailiff and Aldermen, assisted by church leaders.
It was in 1722 that Zandvoort first began to develop economically with even greater developments following in the 1800s and 1900s. Zandvoort village for many centuries until the late 18th century had depended on fishing for its livelihood. In the 19th century however it began to develop into a seaside resort much along the same lines as the English coastal towns had and in 1828 it was first inaugurated as a seaside resort per se.
With this change, Zandvoort began to attract prominent people from all over Europe including in the years 1884 and 1885, the Austro-Hungarian Empress Elizabeth also known as “Sisi” Another development which occurred in the 19th century was the cultivation of potatoes in the dune areas and even more importantly, in 1881 the railway station near the coast was to open. This was followed in 1899 by the arrival of the tram connection to Haarlem. This new connection was to be the catalyst for beach tourism to Zandvoort. Old Postcards of Zandvoort from this time
World War II
The Second World War was to indirectly inflict heavy damage upon the town Zandvoort. It was on 23 May 1942 that all access to Zandvoort beach became prohibited and within a few months time, the town had almost been completely emptied of people except for those useful to the German occupying army. Many of the beautiful Belle Epoque boulevards with their fabulous villas were demolished to make way for the coastal defences of the Atlantic Wall. Ultimately though, the rebuilding programme that followed the war paved the way for the modern resort that exists today. Zandvoort history 1939 to 1945
After the Second World War Zandvoort began to grow rapidly and prosper in other economic areas as well as tourism. A major advancement in the town was the building of Circuit Park Zandvoort in 1948 in an area of the dunes near the coast. The circuit racing track was to host the Dutch Grand Prix for several decades.
In the modern era, the town continues to prosper with tourism still playing an important part. It’s estimated that in 2010, around 50% of all jobs in Zandvoort are connected with tourism.

Mark Hughes says Xherdan Shaqiri is worth “a hell of a lot more” than the £12m Stoke paid for him just over two years ago.
But in the same breath adds that he has no intention of trying to cash in any day soon.
He says Shaqiri has returned for his third season at the club with an apparent point to prove - and is doing just that because he can now spearhead Stoke’s attacking efforts.
“He is taking on more the role of the main instigator of our attacking threat,” said Hughes. “When he gets the ball, I think the whole team responds to that.
“You sense that maybe something’s going to happen. And I think the crowd sends it as well. And I know opposition team sense it too.
“That’s credit to him because of the way he’s playing he’s been able to effect the game in a positive manner.
“Since he’s come back in pre-season, he’s been first class. I don’t know what it is, but he came back with a real focus of making sure he was going to have a good season. And he’s sustained it.
“In the current market it (his £12m transfer fee) doesn’t look a significant amount. For us it was and still is significant money.
“But you’d have to say - not that we are encouraging or advocating that we want to sell him - he’d be worth a hell of a lot more than that if he was back on the market.”
The Stoke City star will be in the shop window next summer, however, when Switzerland play in the World Cup finals in Russia.
But Hughes believes that fewer people on the continent are now raising their eyebrows at his choice of move back in 2015.
“When he came here, people maybe questioned his decision to go from the likes of Bayern Munich and Inter Milan to come to Stoke.
“They probably still do. But he knows what he gets here, the work and the support and that’s why he is able to perform at the level he is at the moment.”

Full speed ahead.
Nature offers an unlimited potential of solar and wind energy.
A look at the rapid growth of solar power plants and wind farms in the recent years indicates the technologies are quickly gaining ground in Europe.
The Governments of the World encourage the increasing uptake of renewable energy as it is clean and reduces gas emissions and air contamination. With every solar plant or wind farm we are coming closer to a clean earth.
Unlike fossil fuels renewable energy is sustainable as it is obtained from sources that are inexhaustible. Energy is critically important to the economy and welfare. Private and commercial consumers of energy are depending on a stable power supply. Alternate energy source can be relied on for the long-term; they are cost-effective and efficient. Wind and solar power are consumed exactly where they are provided. Renewable energy sources take us a step closer to a decentralized and intelligent power supply.

Quarantine Birthday. It started off with a massive breakfast fit for a little lion. And we’ve been revving into the day ever since. Four years old and always wanting to man the boat. Our son likes to call out: “I’m the boss!”–just yesterday the latest as he dictated what he preferred for dinner.
With Zoom calls and little boxes that have accumulated on our porch in the past days, I give thanks for birthday joy arriving. Each activity is punctuated with the shout: “Can I open another present now?”
And as ever, I marvel at his confidence, his volume, his readiness to tackle a project. “Check out my big submarine!” he bellows as he fills the path. And back at home a convincing argument: a slice of cake after lunch and dinner.
May joy flow to our big guy into this most unusual season and year. What will he be saying next May about this day?
He’s not alone. So many are finding different and creative ways to live into graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. Whatever boat you are in, may you have some good company close or far to split the cake, wave the balloons, and chart the way of celebration. And if you are feeling particularly alone or without comforts, may you discover the speed boat, submarine, or preferred sea vessel to see you through this season. There is an unfolding horizon to sail toward–led by the creative strokes of chalking children.

Brentford booked their place in the Fourth Round of the Emirates FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Stoke City at Griffin Park. Emiliano Marcondes scored the only goal of the game, putting a free kick in to the top corner from a tight angle late in the first half. And with The Bees producing a resolute defensive display, that was enough to get them the win.
It was not a game that will live long in the memory with both teams making many changes after playing four Sky Bet Championship games in 11 days over Christmas. There were signs of those alterations but the one moment of quality came from The Bees, who took the lead just before the interval and never really looked like losing it. With the home defence performing superbly, Brentford got the win and a place in the last 32 of the competition.
Stoke were the quicker of the two teams to settle. They had more experience in their line-up and included three attackers with lots of Championship football under their belts. That trio linked well in the opening stages and the visitors spent the first 15 minutes on the front foot, albeit the game was being played at a sedate pace.
Luca Racic, playing on the right side of Brentford’s back three, got back to make a recovery tackle when Lee Gregory got in to space inside the first three minutes and the resulting corner dropped to Tom Edwards, but he sliced a shot wide. Racic made another interception when Gregory looked set to meet a Tom Ince cross and Tyrese Campbell lashed well over for the visitors. The closest either team came to scoring in the first quarter of the contest was when Campbell kept a long ball in play by the corner flag and fed Edwards, his low cross just eluded Gregory inside the six-yard box.
By the time the first half reached the midway point, it was a more even contest. Brentford were starting to find space to play in midfield with Dru Yearwood able to bring wing backs Mads Roerslev and Dominic Thompson in to the game. The Bees were doing their best to make light of having a player less in the central midfield area and had a chance to edge ahead when Roerslev charged down the right, he found Joel Valencia and his pass deflected in to the path of Thompson, but the left wing back lashed wide from 22 yards.
A Nick Powell shot deflected wide at the other end, but Brentford were starting to take a measure of control of the game. The Bees were not able to create lots of chances, but they were getting on top territorially and snuffing out what Stoke had to offer. And by the time Marcondes put them in front just before the interval, it may have been just about deserved.
Brentford ended the half strongly and a decent move ended with Yearwood feeding Halil Dervişoğlu, he found Marcondes with a pass but the shot was blocked. The Bees did, however, press Stoke back and won a free kick when Campbell had a horrible hack at Thompson on the left flank. Campbell was cautioned by referee Keith Stroud and Marcondes stepped up. He let fly with a free kick that dipped over goalkeeper Adam Davies and ended up in the top corner. The first goal of Marcondes’ Brentford career was one to savour and gave Brentford a half time lead.
Stoke started the second half as brightly as they had started the first and went hunting a leveller, without really creating anything to trouble Luke Daniels. Racic blocked a shot from Campbell before Powell found some space but his shot was weak and easily saved by Daniels. Campbell drilled a ball across the six-yard box that no-one could tap in and then fired in an effort that hit Gregory and bounced in to the arms of Daniels.
Another Campbell cross just eluded both Gregory and Ince as Stoke pressed. Brentford were holding a good defensive shape and looking to counter-attack when they could with Yearwood attempting to release Thompson and, in particular, Roerslev on the flanks. The Bees almost opened Stoke up with a quick free kick, but Liam Lindsay stopped Dervişoğlu converting a cross from Jan Žambůrek. A clever turn from Dervişoğlu then released Yearwood in to space but he lashed well over the bar when a return pass may have been the better option.
There was a better chance for Yearwood in amusing circumstances later in the half. Ryan Woods was heading back towards his own goal with the ball when he bumped in to Mr Stroud and Yearwood was able to pick up possession. He burst in to the hole left by Woods and got in to the box before firing over. A goal would have been controversial, but Yearwood should have at least tested Davies after breaking free.
Dervişoğlu then fired just over after a superb turn on the edge of the penalty area while Powell missed from distance at the other end. Stoke made a pair of attacking substitutions as they chased an equaliser and Thibaud Verlinden, one of those introduced, cut inside before shooting wide. He was well-placed again to pick up a half-cleared corner later in proceedings but again wasted the chance, firing over the bar.
A Campbell shot was well blocked by Racic, allowing Daniels to gather, and as the game entered the final stages, it began to get more stretched. Julien Ngoy, the third Stoke substitute, almost created an equaliser with a run down the right but Sam Vokes could not convert and Roerslev cleared as Verlinden arrived late. Powell headed a corner over and Vokes missed the target after chesting down an Edwards pass.
Daniels saved another Vokes header as the minutes ticked down and Ngoy nearly levelled at the death as he burst in to the box but Ethan Pinnock, a colossus in the centre of Brentford’s defence, made the block. Davies had to save to prevent Marcondes doubling his own personal tally, and his team’s, in the closing minutes and there was still time for Frederik Hammar, the latest Brentford B player to make a First Team debut, to lash a shot over the bar. A second goal would have cured any late nerves, but it was not required for Brentford to progress.
Brentford: Daniels; Racic, Pinnock, Sørensen; Roerslev, Yearwood, Marcondes, Thompson (sub Oksanen 86 mins); Valencia, Dervişoğlu (sub Dasilva 80 mins), Žambůrek (sub Hammar 80 mins)
Subs (not used): Gunnarsson, Larsen, Jensen, Mbeumo
Bookings: Thompson (69 mins), Daniels (89 mins)
Stoke City: Davies; Edwards, Lindsay, Collins, Martins Indi; Woods, Cousins (sub Ngoy 81 mins); Campbell, Powell, Ince (sub Verlinden 71 mins); Gregory (sub Vokes 63 mins)
Subs (not used): Federici, Ward, Smith, Sørensen
Bookings: Campbell (43 mins)
Attendance: 7,575 (935 away fans)

FFXIV is a subscription game for PC, PS4 and Mac OS, but it is possible to play a free trial version to see if Final Fantasy XIV is the right game for you. However, the test version has a few restrictions.
Many people always ask themselves one question: “What role should I take at the beginning of the game?” Unfortunately, this question is difficult to answer for others. On the one hand it depends on the player and on the other hand it doesn’t really matter at the beginning, because as already mentioned you can play all these roles with one character. So you are in a position to change roles after you have determined, for example, that you would rather be a physical hand-to-hand fighter and yet would rather not play a defender. Just have a look at our guide overview page for Final Fantasy XIV, under Classes & Jobs we always explain something about the individual roles. You can also take a look at the official site for Final Fantasy XIV and see the descriptions there look at the roles.
Okay so let’s now take a look at some of the best FFXIV Apartments & House Ideas for 2021:
More ideas will be added soon in this list.

This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary-notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history for ever.
Late one summer evening, Wilberforce - rich, young, work-obsessed and self-contained - makes an unexpected detour on the way home from the software company he owns and unwittingly takes the first step on a journey that will change his life, as he discovers the wine cellars of Cearlyon Hall. A dazzling, haunting story of obsession and addiction, of loyalty and betrayal.
A ghost story, a psychological thriller and a tale of love rediscovered, from the bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN.
A modern A TALE OF TWO CITIES by the bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN. "The money came out of nowhere. In the first years of the first decade of the new century, money flowed around the world as it had never done before. Then, somewhere, someone asked a question. It was: 'Can I have my money back?'"
The bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN returns with a Buchan-esque thriller. Traumatised by a tour of duty in Iraq, Richard Gaunt returns home to his girlfriend with very little of a plan in mind. Finding it difficult to settle into civilian life, he turns to drink and gambling - and is challenged to a bet he cannot resist. All he has to do is walk from London to Oxford in under twelve hours. But what starts as a harmless venture turns into something altogether different when Richard recklessly accepts an unusual request from a stranger ...
A tale of the unexpected. Former MP Bobby Clarke arrives at a hotel on the Mediterranean shore. He is a former MP, unseated by the expenses scandal, who is now spending time abroad to recover from a major illness and write his memoirs. But it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems. For a start Bobby seems to have no memory of the immediate past. Each time he sits down to continue his memoirs he finds only a blank page. And what has become of his wife?
Ed Hartlepool has been living in self-imposed exile for five years, but with a settlement regarding his inheritance looming, he must return to his ancestral seat, Hartlepool Hall. On his return, he discovers that his father has left him, along with the house, a seven million pound tax bill, two massive overdrafts, an 80-year-old butler, and a vast country estate that is creaking at the seams. Not only that, but there is a strange woman in residence - Lady Alice - who seems to have made herself very much at home. But is she really the person she claims to be?
A dark tale about a failing politician and the search for two missing children. Norman Stokoe has just been appointed Children's Czar by the new government. He settles down in his new leather chair behind his new desk, to wait for the green light to begin his mission. The green light never comes. What does happen is that two children go missing. As Children's Czar, surely this case should fall within his remit, but Norman has built a career on doing nothing, on stamping pieces of paper with 'send to the relevant department'. Now, faced with a campaigning journalist and a distraught mother, he is forced to become involved. The search will take him to dark places and will make him ask questions about the system he is supposed to uphold.
From the bestselling author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, a haunting novella that introduces one of the most memorable characters from Torday's novel Light Shining in the Forest. John Elliott is the recently appointed vicar of St Joseph's - a dilapidated church with a congregation of sixteen. Then Theo, a child at his wife Christine's school, starts to exhibit strange marks on his hands and feet that vanish almost as soon as they have appeared. What has produced these marks - and why has the previous vicar of St Joseph's ended up in a psychiatric hospital?
Two of Paul Torday's intriguing and beautifully written novellas in one book: BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL DÉJÀ VU & THEO In these two suspenseful tales, he transports us from the shores of the Mediterranean to real north-East England. As he brings to life a host of unforgettable characters, mysterious and sinister events and unexplained happenings begin to surface.
Paul Torday's final book, completed posthumously by his son Piers. Andrew Landford is driving home one night, along a dark country lane, when a barn owl flies into his windscreen. It is an accident, nothing more. However Andrew is in line to be the country's next prime minister. And he has recently been appointed to a parliamentary committee concerned with the Wildlife and Countryside Act. If Andrew acknowledges that he has killed the owl, he could be risking his political career. Should he come clean, or hide the story and hope it goes away?

Nurturing Our Sense Of Humanity In Order To Survive And Thrive
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt worldwide. But by looking at and learning from what happened and how people responded to it, we can get a far better idea of where to go from here. However, one thing that became obvious was the need to continue to nurture our sense of humanity and take better care of one another.
On this episode of the Survive & Thrive podcast, Jennifer Ayres sits down with world thought leader Dr. Partha Ghosh. Dr. Ghosh is known as an innovator of business and economic models, advising business and government leaders around the world. Jennifer and Dr. Ghosh discuss how the coronavirus highlighted the positive and negative sides of humanity, and what’s needed to not just survive but thrive as the pandemic comes to a close.
Act 1: Preparation and action
Dr. Ghosh’s background (1:24)
Jennifer and Dr. Partha Ghosh discuss his education and experience, including working with governments and major corporations.
Early days of the COVID-19 pandemic (4:24)
Dr. Ghosh shares his insight and experience with the initial outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, both in developed and lower-income countries. He was shocked at how slowly developed countries were to respond to the pandemic.
Dr. Ghosh’s personal experience (7:48)
Dr. Ghosh details his experience finding out about the pandemic and lockdown. He explains how he used that time to think ahead and prepare.
Act 2: Humanity
The impact on work (10:43)
As a teacher, not much changed for Dr. Ghosh. He simply transitioned to remote work, which the students adapted to quickly. For clients, Dr. Ghosh checked in to see how they were adjusting, which tightened some of those relationships.
Renewed sense of humanity (13:37)
One of the unintentional benefits of the pandemic is the reminder that everyone is human and potentially dealing with issues beyond our first sight. Dr. Ghosh explains his idea behind the “human care system” that includes taking care of each others’ physical, mental, and emotional needs.
Act 3: Taking the next step
Technology accelerated (21:11)
Technology has taken a massive leap forward over the last year of the pandemic. But as Dr. Ghosh points out, there’s a need to think about things like the environment, spirituality, and the less fortunate at the same time.
The weaker instincts of humanity (27:13)
When Jennifer and Dr. Ghosh spoke months ago, he touched on the reality the pandemic has revealed the weaker instincts of humanity. Dr. Ghosh believes the pandemic has highlighted a pretty big divide, which could lead to much larger issues.
Act 4: Surviving and thriving
Biggest surprises (32:00)
Just like most people, Dr. Ghosh was surprised by a few things during the pandemic; both good and bad. He was surprised by the resiliency and ingenuity that came about but was disappointed by humanity’s disobedience.
Advice to leaders and organizations (38:26)
Dr. Ghosh provides some more insight on what he noticed during the pandemic and some final bits of advice for leaders and organizations looking to not just survive, but thrive as well.

I love making cute gift baskets – so much that I have a board on Pinterest entirely devoted to homemade gift baskets and boxes.
Whenever I’m stuck for a gift, whether Christmas gifts or shower gifts, I always think about what I can put in a gift basket as a themed gift.
My sister-in-law and her family were staying with us for their family vacation this year, and I wanted to do something special for them. I made this cute DIY ice cream sundae gift basket, and it was a hit!
Collecting Materials for the Gift Box
First, I collected the materials that I needed for DIY ice cream sundae gift box. I went to Michael’s and they were having an awesome summer blowout sale on gift boxes.
I got this gift box for just three dollars! Of course, I bought a few of them for later projects.
Next, on my weekly trip to the grocery store, I purchased a few of the ice cream box necessities – chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, cherries, and cones.
I also bought a few boxes of candy that could be used as toppings. The boxes were on sale for .99 cents.
As for other toppings, I already had tons of sprinkles and a box of walnuts at home.
My final trip was to Walmart for a cheap but cute ice cream scoop. I found one for .88 cents! (Side note – if you are looking to get a better scoop, there’s an awesome scoop on Amazon that uses the heat from your body to heat up the ice cream!)
Also at Walmart, I found polka dot napkins and turquoise spoons for a dollar per pack. I also found ice cream cups there for $3 per pack.
If you are looking to buy a kit, there’s a great ice cream sundae kit on Amazon, which has the cups, spoons, straws, and little umbrellas in bright and cheery colors.
Last, I purchased the condiment cups on Amazon. Love Amazon! I also needed the condiment cups for my son’s Sesame Street themed birthday party, so I bought a big bag.
I already had scrapbook paper and ribbon in my craft collection, so I didn’t need to buy those things 🙂
Putting The Ice Cream Sundae Box Together
The next step was the fun part – putting everything together into a cute ice cream sundae gift basket.
I poured the boxes of candy into the condiment cups. The boxes were a perfect fit because I had little to none leftover.
I also filled condiment cups with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, and crushed walnuts.
I unwrapped two different kinds of cones (I bought a variety pack) and wrapped a stack of them in cellophane for freshness.
Then I took a piece of ribbon and tied a few spoons to the ice cream scoop with a sign that read, “Just add ice cream.”
Then I printed my own labels that read “chocolate syrup, cherries, etc” (see download below) on regular white printer paper.
I glued the labels to the scrapbook paper and then taped them to the jars, for a cute, uniform look.
I didn’t love the design on the ice cream cups, so I wrapped a polka-dotted napkins around the cup, to match the napkins and make for a brighter box.
Last, I added a sign to the top of the box, covering up the bicycle design.
I love the way the box turned out! My sister-in-law and her family loved it too. We had a great time creating ice cream sundaes at home 🙂
As far as cost, I saved a lot of money with the discounted box, grocery store sales, and good finds at Walmart.
Altogether, I spent just less than $35 dollars (with the condiment cups being $10.50 and tons of these leftover for other projects) on the this DIY ice cream sundae gift basket.
Considering we had ice cream sundaes for seven people and tons of leftovers, I still think that’s a great deal!

At this time of year Fire Departments are attempting to spread the word to NOT plug space heaters into power strips. The load/draw on the power strip from the heater is far more than it can take, causing the power strip to melt, and potentially catch on fire.
This news article captures the message from a few Fire Departments:

EuroPlug au gratin Mary Restaurant
Food served: a sort of Khmer with a hint of Italian, maybe.
I was a little hesitant to try this place for quite a while; before it turned into what looked like an independent chain bubble tea restaurant it was a pleasant little traditional Khmer restaurant, tin tables, plastic chairs, you know, the usual. Furthermore, previously, it had also been a weekend regular haunt of mine, being less than a block away from Lord Playboy’s Phnom Penh Penthouse, some rice/pork at breakfast, or maybe some stir-fried chicken noodles of a lunchtime, that sort of thing. So I was a little disappointed that the place closed down for 6 months and was rebuilt as a hermetically sealed, air-conditioned, cafe.
As I open the large tinted door I am greeted by a chorus of ”hellos” from half a dozen waitresses. As they all show me to my seat I am handed a small booklet of a menu listing dishes in Khmer and English.
Along with the menu I was presented with two glasses of iced jasmine tea, and a loo roll. At that point I was sincerely hoping that that was because they had run out of napkins, rather than a pre-emptive statement about hygiene standards in their kitchen.
Looking around at the changes that had been made since the place had been a typical spit and chicken bone Khmer place I that the place had a very relaxing atmosphere. Dark hard woods, comfy sofa style seating and wonderful, powerful, air-conditioning, the hectic outside world dimmed by the tinted glass windows.
Returning to the menu, there were the usual slightly bizarre English translations under the dishes on the menu, most I either recognised, or could work out; inner chicken or spare-parts cow, but the one I could not quite figure out was the Fried Rice Meatball Butter.
Was it fried rice with meatballs, balls of fried rice that look like meatballs?
They could have said butter instead of meaning cheese; the language proficiency of the menus author was that much in question, and as most of us wary diners in Khmer restaurants know, they often refer to prahok as ‘cheese Cambodia.’
Despite my attempts at discussing the dish with the waitress, who spoke no English and could not understand my attempts at Khmer, I could not solve the mystery of this dish. So much for all the money I have spent on Khmer lessons over the last couple of years.
Well, curiosity won over caution and I ordered it. This turned out to be a good choice.
When the food turned up the waitress was looking somewhat worried, I guess that she was still not sure that she had understood what it was I wanted to order, but as she edged towards the table looking swiftly between me and the plate of food I simply smiled nodded enthusiastically ? I could have eaten Khmer chicken knuckle soup by this point I was so hungry.
The dish actually turned out to be Spaghetti au gratin with beef meatballs in a cheesy garlic mushroom sauce – that was as thick and rich as a prime-ministerial nephew(1). Served in an oval dish with a grilled topping of cheese, it was heavy on taste and garlic, although possibly a little light on the mushrooms considering Cambodia has so many tasty varieties and that they are so inexpensive here.
As I tucked into my meal with great gusto (having neglected to break my fast this particular morning) the owner came over to refill my glass of jasmine tea and to check that everything was alright. He was a portly looking Chinese gentleman who spoke passable English and it transpired that our waitress was his niece, who spoke neither English nor Khmer! So I was feeling slightly better again about my language skills.
Having finished, I opted for an iced coffee to help stave off that post lunch snooze feeling, exasperated here by the heat.
Again, the coffee was a pleasant surprise, it was Vietnamese coffee and it was as strong and smooth as a Khmer440 columnist, it should help me maintain focus long enough to finish my Saturday afternoon chores.
The main courses were US$2 or 3 each; the strong and tasty iced coffee a dollar. Making a light lunch for two the bargain price of US$6. Not too mention the relief from the extreme midday

Restructuring in SMEs – A multiple case study analysis
SMEs represent an important pillar in every economy, but in terms of financial performance they are inherently more exposed to financial volatility than large enterprises. Constrained access to resources and the liability of smallness lead to a higher propensity to failure and corporate crisis. A financial crisis is endangering the continued existence of the business, however it can also be perceived as change to reassess and reassemble resources to meet future market requirements. This either takes place through a court-supervised reorganization or through an informal restructuring without the involvement of courts. This paper focuses on the latter and employs a multiple case study including 10 successfully restructured firms and 5 failed renegotiations in Austria. Through use of the resource-based view (RBV) we analyzed what caused crises in SMEs and which strategies and measures are necessary to overcome crisis. In conclusion, it can be stated that crises are predominantly caused internally in SMEs, and successful restructuring frequently requires the engagement of both, banks and entrepreneurs. While innovation capacity is a factor that facilitates restructuring, complex and insufficiently settled family dynamics tend to hinder restructuring.

Words and Photos by Laura Lancaster
“I knew you were coming.”
I had been dreading this stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran between Manzanita and Tillamook since we started weekend thru-hiking (or section-hiking) it in chunks back in 2017. Heading south from Tillamook, the OCT follows Highway 101—the main artery for the Oregon Coast—for over 10 miles until the trail hits the beach again just north of the town of Garibaldi. Ten miles of road walking isn’t what most expect when they think: Oregon Coast Trail. Photos of endless stretches of flat, sandy beaches, pine-needle-cushioned trails snaking up misty, wooded headlands, a cafe in a picturesque beach town. That’s what you’re here for.
The Oregon Coast Trail is a natural extension of a well-known and beloved Oregon law: House Bill 1601, otherwise known as the Oregon Beach Bill. It declared everything from 16 feet above the low-tide mark down to be public property–open to all with no fences allowed. While other states have to contend with waterfront landowners posting no trespassing signs, in Oregon, you could walk the length of the state via the coast.
Or at least that’s the idea. The Oregon coast is still wild, broken up by numerous jetties, towering headlands, and sheer cliffs. And Highway 101 occasionally occupies some of the better ocean-side real estate. The result is a trail that’s part defined footpath, part choose-your-own-adventure, part impassable. In other words, hikers would need to trek too many miles along the highway to achieve a pure thru-hike of the OCT.
On this section, our group of four started cutting the “official” trail almost as soon as we started—opting for quiet side roads that paralleled the main drag. Then we noticed a set of train tracks on Google maps. It got us to thinking: Could we hike this stretch on the tracks? Was that safe? And how would we get down to them?
“My neighbor called and told me you were trying to get down to the railroad tracks!”
About a quarter of a mile back, we had stopped to ask a local farmer about our idea for an alternate route. He gave his directions to a nearby farm, telling us to just let the man whose property it was know what we were trying to do. Instead of being suspicious as to why four backpackers wanted to cut across his property, the farmer warmly greeted us—like so many Oregonians we had met during our section hikes. He led us down to the tracks, telling us about how far they ran (all the way to Manzanita), how long he had lived there for (nearly all his life), and, most importantly, that there wouldn’t be any trains running this time of year.
Hiking the tracks turned out to be one of the highlights of our weekend. Where the road above us was behind a thick wall of vegetation, the tracks were practically on the water itself. We watched seals playing in the water and eagles flying overhead. On the OCT, cutting the official trail is sometimes the right thing to do.
So is talking to the people you meet along the way. While the major tourist centers at places like Cannon Beach are filled with out-of-towners, the smaller beaches are recreation spots for just about every stripe of local. A surfer’s paradise in Smuggler Cove. Paragliders at Kiwanda point jumping from the dunes, sailing near the cliffs, and offering rides to anyone who’s interested. And of course, the dozens of sea lions lounging in the sun across from an oyster shack.
The train tracks weren’t on the official OCT maps, but discovering your own route along the Oregon Coast is half the fun.
Here’s what you need to know to get started:
This is tricky. The maps put out by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department have this to say: “Beach camping is restricted within city limits, state park boundaries, and near snowy plover habitat areas (avoid orange fenced areas during nesting). Fires are not allowed upwind or near driftwood piles.” In addition, camping on the beach itself is prohibited along the entire stretch of the Oregon Coast.
Where camping is allowed is on the grassy dunes just above the beach itself (just be sure to steer clear of private residences, being in their line of sight is another prohibition). Navigating these rules can be tricky for even experienced thru-hikers. Fortunately, there are a number of state parks and other campgrounds across the Coast, many of which have sites for overnight backpackers.
Whether you’re looking to drop a shuttle car, get to your next section of trail, or just skip around a particularly hairy stretch of 101, the Oregon Coast has got you covered. There are a series of bus routes running up and down the coast from Astoria to Brookings, including free overnight parking at the bus stops in Tillamook and Manzanita, among others.
Because these buses are primarily for locals, they have some flexibility with pick-up and drop-off points, but limited hours and days that they run—be sure to call well in advance of your trip. And don’t forget to bring cash in small denominations with you.

As anyone who has hiked a long trail will tell you, a willingness to hitchhike can vastly improve your trail experience. This is doubly, or even triply true, on the Oregon Coast Trail where huge swathes of beach are left off the route of the official map because there is no way to cross a river mouth or bay opening. But intrepid hikers can try “hitchhiking” across these waterways by grabbing a ride from one of the many boats along the coast.
Unlike many other long trails in the United States, the Oregon Coast Trail can be hiked year-round! However, rain and colder temps can make for a less pleasant hiking experience in winter. Conversely, summertime crowds can make it harder to secure choice campsites. Tackle this one during the shoulder seasons if you can for the best of all worlds. But be prepared for rain no matter what time of year you head out.
Whether it’s a town or a natural creek, water sources are reasonably plentiful along the Oregon Coast Trail. The same goes for restrooms—which is fortunate, as privacy is limited.
No permits required.
While there are headlands to be crossed and (the occasional) mountain to be climbed, the reality is that the vast majority of the terrain on the Oregon Coast Trail is flat and smooth—be it beach or road. Grab your trail runners for this one, and leave the hiking boots at home. You may find yourself not wearing shoes at all for long stretches!
Unlike the Washington Coast, where impassable headlands require waiting out the tides every 5 miles or so, there are few sections of the Oregon Coast where this is an issue, and even fewer where you should be concerned about the tides for your own safety. That being said, the ocean is unpredictable and hikers should be aware of any upcoming king tides, especially if they are planning to camp along the beach.
You can absolutely hike the Oregon Coast Trail with the maps provided by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/parks/pages/oct_main.aspx), but you’ll find yourself backtracking periodically or guessing as to where a particular turn-off is located. That being said, this can lead to some fun discoveries and an increased sense of adventure on what is otherwise a pretty low-key trail. Hikers looking for something more detailed should check out Bonnie Henderson’s Day Hiking Oregon Coast (and everyone should check out her wonderfully detailed blog for more information on the trail.)

I’m going into the new year a panster. That’s how I write, how I drive, and how I do most everything. Panster is a writing term for those who write by the seat of their pants. We might have an idea of what we’ll write, but for the most part, we open a blank screen and let the story tell itself. The other kind of writer is the plotter. They’re good at organizing their thoughts, getting the whole story plotted out point by point until all they have to do is fill in the blanks. Neither style is better than the other, it’s just a matter of how a person is wired.
I have some ideas for 2016…I’d like a certain person to be voted into the Presidential office, I’d like to tone my arms to finely chiseled machines, and I have a few American destinations I’d like to make it to, but as a panster, I know that God will manage my story as I go. In Faith Seekers, I didn’t know Miguel played the guitar until I was writing the very sentence where he pulled it out in a Colorado campground. In The Jesus Experience, Bill Myers talks about landing projects he didn’t feel qualified to do, but he was willing to go where God led him. I’m jumping into a leadership role next month I ever thought I’d do–I’m not that qualified, but I’m willing, so here I go.
Let this year be one of possibilities. You don’t need to control-freak your way along, or be the most qualified…God will unfold your story along the way. Blessings.

I really enjoyed the episode with Julija Jegorova where she shares her journey navigating the PR world, talks about the importance of family, and has a great sense of humour. When her and Eric talk about time being the most precious resource, it resonated with me.
Love the way Eric is going about finding fresh faces of Eastern European entrepreneurship & innovation! This is a great podcast for anyone who wants to understand how winding the path to successful innovation can be, and especially for young people who are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship and feel they don’t have a lot of support or a clear roadmap. The cultural aspect is relevant but the content is universally viable.
This podcast was touching and inspiring. Julija touched my heart when she talked about her struggles with anxiety and depression. Often times we all struggle with it but are too afraid to talk about it or we don’t know how to deal with it. It helps to hear that we are not alone. I also remember losing my grandmother and not being able to take time off from work and I basically didn’t go back to work for a week without pay to be with my family. It’s true you never get that time back. I can’t wait to listen to Eric’s next podcast and to hear him laughing as he has a conversation with his interviewees.
What a breath of fresh air! I really enjoy the host, Eric, and his engaging manner as he talks with fascinating guests. I’ve learned a great deal from each episode and look forward to many more!

The dictionary says:
behavior, manner, or appearance intended to avoid impropriety or indecency.
Translating: Modesty, sometimes known as demureness, is a mode of dress and deportment which intends to avoid the encouraging of sexual attraction in others. The word "modesty" comes from the Latin word modestus which means "keeping within measure". Standards of modesty are culturally and context dependent and vary widely.

Gloucester Times – By Richard Gaines
Bluefin Tuna Central
With its in- and offshore waters a cavorting grounds for the noble, mysterious and highly migratory bluefin tuna, the port of Gloucester has long been a haunt of bluefin fishermen, blue fin buyers and exporters.
Now, thanks to a partnership between the state Division of Marine Fisheries and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the old research station at Hodgkins Cove in Bay View — once the site of the loading dock for shipping Gloucester granite, and more recently a UMass seafood research laboratory — is about to become the new, permanent home of a small but globally influential research laboratory dedicated to the study of bluefin tuna and other long- distance marine travelers.
“It’s just such a perfect fit on so many levels,” said Paul Fisette, chairman of the UMass Department of Environmental Conservation.
To introduce herself and her colleagues to the community, internationally-known tuna scientist and center director Molly Lutcavage has organized a free lecture series at the Gloucester Marine Heritage Center beginning next Thursday and for the next five Thursdays at 7 p.m.
She will deliver the first lecture about the lab, whose focus also includes other large pelagics, including sea turtles, sharks and billfish.
The Large Pelagics Research Center arrives in Gloucester, which Lutcavage has long called home, just as a lengthy scientific argument over the relative stability of the bluefin — tracing to the onset of marine science and the first tentative efforts to understand the apex fish of all the oceans — reaches a defining moment in a crescendo of bitter recriminations.
On a petition of the Center for Biological Diversity, and floating on a wave of anxious green warnings, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has undertaken a status review of the bluefin to determine if, as the center alleges, the fish is “the verge or extinction” and should be granted Endangered Species Act protection.
With such, the tuna — which grows to more than 1,000 pounds and can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Japan-dominated bluefin sushi market — could no longer be hunted in U.S. waters for the challenge and rewards.
A decision is expected this spring.
The fierce scientific dispute has enlisted a coalition of anti-fishing activists and environmental writers like Paul Greenberg, who worries in the book “Four Fish” that “the population of North Atlantic bluefin may have already imploded beyond the point of discovery.”
Lutcavage, however, does not share the dystopic vision. With years of experience, tagging, tracking and revising the science while the center was at the University of New Hampshire and now at UMass-Amherst (after a changing of the guard at UNH and the expiration of a congressional earmark for the lab), and through working collaboratively with fishermen, Lutcavage said she opposes the Endangered Species Listing.
“Our own tracking of movements and migrations, fisheries trends, and known distribution and availability of bluefin tuna here and in other parts of the Atlantic doesn’t support it,” she told the Times in an e-mail. “Bluefin reproductive patterns of broad spawning across multiple areas and release of millions of eggs is also very different from marine species that are in big trouble.”
Her word carries. She has been on the U.S. advisory committee to ICCAT (the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas), since the mid-1990, serving as both a committee member and technical advisor and remains involved in multiple efforts to demystify the great fish which whose back yard stretches across the breadth of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Mexico.
Lutcavage said she and her team — three staffers and three grad students — have no official role in determining the status of the bluefin, but NOAA’s review team “has consulted us for our opinion on the status of juveniles and shifts in distribution of adults.”
To fishermen, Lutcavage is revered as a hero, whose fealty to science is seen as exceptional.
“Whatever what the science is, the science is,” said Steve Weiner, a tuna fisherman, director of the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Association, and former ICCAT advisor. “We have forces out there that are trying to pollute the science.
“Her idealism shines through,” Weiner said. “There are other bluefin tuna scientists … I won’t name names … who are just the opposite: They won’t share things, they follow the money, they kind of prostitute themselves. Molly never has been like that.”
If penury is a sign of integrity, Lutcavage and her little research center are heaven bound.
“We’re not a little research center,” she objected. “We’re a major center with a small budget” with global scientific capabilities through academic collaborations.
And it has a larger future, according to Fisette and Steve Goodwin, dean of the College of Natural Resources and the Environment at UMass Amherst.
They both emphasized the natural synergies with the city and the Division of Marine Fisheries, which has a field laboratory of its own near the Annisquam River closer to the Cut.
State marine fisheries director Paul Diodati, and Mary Griffin, the state commissioner of fish and game, were also instrumental in reeling in the laboratory after Lutcavage made known her hope to transport the laboratory from Durham, N.H. to Hogkins Cove.
The speakers in the “2011 Fish and Fisheries Public Seminar Series” highlight the range and interests of the center.
After Lutcavage’s introductory lecture next Thursday (7 p.m. and the Marine Heritage Center, Harbor Loop for all lectures), Walt Golet of the Gulf of Maine Research Institute will speak on April 7 about bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Maine.
On April 14, James Sulikowski of the University of New England will lecture on spiny dogfish, a species whose condition is fiercely disputed and intimately known to exasperated striper and groundfishermen.
On April 21, Gregory Skomal of the Division of Marine Fisheries, will lecture on great white sharks that have been an more common presence near shore along the coast in recent years.
Then, on April 28, Francis Juanes of Umass Amherst will lecture on Piscivorous fish — fish that eat other fish or their own kind.
The series ends on May 5 with Andy Danylchuk’s lecture on the Great Barracuda, “the under appreciated apex predator of the tropical seas.”

We don’t simply recommend. We put things into action. We don’t just run campaigns. We make sure they take you to where you want to be.
We create strategic and innovative marketing campaigns for some of the world’s biggest technology and telecom operators.
We are a proud partner of BBN—the world’s B2B agency and the #1 International B2B Marcomms Agency of 2020.
Jacky Tai is principal consultant of StrategiCom, a B2B brand consultancy company, operating in 10+ countries, all over the world. He is the acclaimed writer of many successful books on B2B Branding including “Transforming Your Business Into a Brand: The 10 Rules of Branding“, “Killer Differentiators: 13 Strategies to Grow Your Brand” etc. This is an email interview, but, he promised a video interview with B2Bento in near future. So, stay tuned!
Q1. Please introduce yourself and StrategiCom.
Jacky: My name is Jacky Tai and I am a Principal Consultant of StrategiCom. StrategiCom is a B2B branding strategy consultancy with 110 consultants and researchers in 12 cities. We help B2B companies to differentiate their brands to gain an unfair competitive advantage.
Q2. Buyers mind-frame and purchase pattern – how it’s different in B2B and B2C? How that impacts B2B branding?
Jacky: The biggest difference between buying a B2B product or service versus a B2C one is risk. Buying anything involves risk but the risk in a B2B purchase is bigger not just because a B2B purchase is typically more expensive but because if that B2B product or service fails to perform, then the buyer could lose money, clients and damage its reputation beyond repair.
These are the 5 types of risks involved in a B2B purchase as written in our first branding book, Transforming Your Business Into A Brand.
Technical Risk – will the product perform as claimed?
Financial Risk – does the purchase make financial sense?
Delivery Risk – can the seller deliver on time?
Service Risk – will the seller be around long enough to provide after-sales support?
Professional Risk – will this product or service affect how clients view my company?
Q3. Are there any fundamental, strategic and tactical differences in B2B branding in Asia?
Jacky: No. Branding is like Mathematics. 1 + 1 = 2. The same principles that work in the West works in the East. The important thing to remember is that the battlefield of branding is actually in the minds of customers – not in the market place as many people think. A brand is just an idea that exists in the mind. And to win the battle of branding, you need to get into the mind with a highly-differentiated idea so that you can stay in the mind. People tend to forget that in the heat of internationalization, M&A, market expansion, etc. But if you want to win in the market place, you got to win in the mind first.
Q4. Back to basic – correlation of branding and marketing in B2B space.
Jacky: Branding and marketing are related but not the same. Branding is what you do to differentiate your brand. Branding was originally used 4,000 years ago to differentiate cows. Cattle owners could not (and probably still can’t) tell one cow from another cow. So, they use a red-hot branding iron with their initials on one end to burn a unique mark into the rump of the cows. Branding is still used to differentiate cows today but the cows now come in the form of companies, products and services.
Marketing is what you do to communicate your differentiating idea through what is known as static and dynamic channels. The static channel refers to things like your website, brochures, e-mail, advertisements, corporate video, tag-line, etc. The dynamic channel refer to the people – senior management, middle management, staff, customers, suppliers, distributors, media, etc.
So, branding is differentiation and marketing is communicating that differentiation.
Q5. Changing face of media / Media consumption pattern – impact on B2B branding and marketing?
Jacky: The media has never been so fragmented. During the dot.com boom, there was a lot of talk (and hype) on the convergence of media. These prophets couldn’t have been more wrong. Things don’t converge. They diverge. The companies that made multi-million bets on the TV-PC (or should it be the PC-TV?) got a bad case of burnt-fingers. And the media will continue on this divergent path and get even more fragmented. MediaFragmentation2.0 will be playing at a theater near you soon.
So, what is the impact on marketing B2B brands? This might come as a big shock to you – but the answer is “absolutely nothing”. With or without the media fragmentation that is happening in the market today, you will still need to think long and hard about how and where you spend your communications dollars. Sure, there are now more channels you can use to communicate. What’s so bad about that? With more channels, I can target my customers more accurately. Only a lazy marketer won’t love this high degree of fragmentation. Of course, in the past, the work of marketing communications is easier because you can only use newspapers, radio and TV. So, you don’t have to think much. Now you need to think and lazy marketers just don’t like to think too hard.
Q6. 3 fundamental advises to B2B marketers to position their brand.
Jacky: One, figure out what idea your brand currently owns in the minds of your customers. That can be done through a thorough Perception Audit. Be prepared for the biggest disappointment in your life because there is a 90% chance that your brand doesn’t stand for anything in the mind.
Two, figure out how to effectively differentiate your brand in ways that are relevant, desirable and defensible. There are 13 differentiation strategies as discussed in detail in the book Killer Differentiators.
Three, communicate your differentiating idea relentlessly at all customer touch points. This sounds easy on paper but anyone who has attempted this will tell you how hard it is for a carefully planned communications strategy to get derailed during implementation.
Q7. Traps to avoid while marketing a B2B brand in Asia.
There are some landmines that even big corporations – who should know better – step on once in a while. These are the landmines to be avoided at all costs.
Jacky Tai graduated in 1994 with a marketing degree from one of the top 10 American universities, the University of Wisconsin in Madison. His most valuable marketing lessons, however, have come from the school of hard knocks. Since graduation, he has headed the marketing department of several start-ups in the United States and Singapore. The hyper-competition of today’s business environment taught him that what separates successful companies from also-rans is often the right strategy.
He joined International Enterprise Singapore (the former Singapore Trade Development Board) in 2004 as its branding manager, developing brand education programmes to train Singapore companies. His workshops have been attended by companies ranging from start-ups to established players like SingTel, DBS, OCBC, Great Eastern, Singapore Technologies, Fraser & Neave, Beyonics, Flextronics, Singapore Exchange and Wilmar.
Jacky also writes a regular Branding Tips column in E-Marketer magazine for the Marketing Institute of Singapore and contributes articles to marketing magazines, websites and newsletters.

New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights Predictions, Odds, Picks
- A battle of top dogs
- Rangers are giant killers
- Vegas beginning to lack defensively
New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights Odds
Odds taken from DraftKings Sportsbook. Have a look at our full sportsbook review for more on Draftkings promo code, payment methods, and security.
|Rangers vs Golden Knights||Odds|
|New York||+135 |
This is a battle of top divisional seeds. New York currently leads the Metropolitan Division at 22-8-4 while the Vegas Golden Knights are holding the Pacific hostage at 22-13-1. These Rangers also enter this game on a bit of a hot streak as well. In their last three, they’ve defeated a pretty solid Oilers lineup (quite handily too 4-1) and dropped the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning in back-to-back tilts. On Thursday, they’ll go for four straight, but it won’t be easy as Vegas is still one of the best on paper.
New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights Pick
Vegas is in a bit of a rut and sadly we don’t see them climbing out here. We like the Rangers to keep their winning ways going with a 4-2 win.
Bet on New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights Here!
While the New York Rangers defensively have been pretty hard to penetrate, the Golden Knights may have the answer in this one. The New Yorkers currently boast the fourth-best Goals Against Average in the league at 2.47. However, not to be outdone, Vegas is one of the hottest goal-scoring teams posting a league fourth-best 3.50 Goals Per Game. In other words, these Rangers may have truly met their match.
New York Must Keep Their Tape Hot
These Rangers have tallied 12 goals through their three-game win streak and aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. Led by Barclay Goodrow’s five points through that stretch, New York has been finding goal production from throughout their young lineup. No one man has been stealing all the headlines and that’s why this team is so good. Artermi Panarin leads in points with 36, Chris Kreider in goals with 20 and Adam Fox in assists with 30. The parity in this lineup is something special.
However, the story doesn’t end with point production. Perhaps the bigger headline stealer has been the play of goaltender Igor Shesterkin. He has 15 wins to his name along with a stellar 2.09 GAA (fourth in NHL) and .936 save percentage (second in NHL). He’s been the ace in the hole for these Rangers and could help his club knock off a first place team for the third time in a week.

Vegas Needs Secondary Defenders to Step Up
The Golden Knights have had a bit of a problem these past three games and it’s not their goal production. They’ve scored nine goals through that stretch, but still have not won a contest in 2022. Averaging three goals a night really isn’t that bad. That’s not detrimental whatsoever. It’s the ‘allowing your opponent back into the game’ part that’s been killing them. Vegas just hasn’t been able to close.
They have a fairly strong goal differential of +19, but defenders like Alec Martinez (+3) and Ben Hutton (+1) haven’t really done a good job shutting down the opposition. In other words, outside of their top pairing of Shea Theodore (+8) and Alex Pietrangelo (+5) the Golden Knights blueline has been anything, but air tight. With that in mind, a team that has great offensive production from throughout could be an issue.
Here’s our list of the best sportsbook payouts available for you.
What’s Trending in Vegas
The Rangers have won seven of their last eight when playing on two days’ rest. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights have won four of their last five against Metro Division clubs.

An Untrustworthy Army is the fifth book in the Peninsular War Saga and tells the story of the second half of Wellington’s campaign of 1812 during which his army experienced heady victory at Salamanca and then the misery of the retreat from Burgos.
It is June, 1812. Back with her husband and his brigade, Anne van Daan is beginning to recover from her ordeal at the hands of Colonel Dupres as Lord Wellington marches his army into Spain and up to Salamanca. In a spectacularly successful action, Wellington drives the French back although not without some damage to the third brigade of the light division.
Still recovering from their losses at Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz earlier in the year, the light division remains in Madrid while Wellington lays siege to Burgos but some of Paul’s brigade have troubles of their own.
Lieutenant Simon Carlyon is determined not to allow his dead brother’s shameful reputation to blight his career in the army but finds it harder than expected to serve under the man who killed him. Colonel Johnny Wheeler is finding the lie he told to protect others difficult to live with, faced with the unrelenting hostility of a young officer. And Captain Michael O’Reilly’s life is complicated through a casual act of kindness.
The end of the campaigning season does not go as well for the Allied army and triumph turns to an undignified and dangerous retreat. At a time when the discipline of Wellington’s army seems to have broken down, Van Daan’s brigade need to set personal matters aside and concentrate on staying alive long enough to reach safety.
What the reviews say about An Untrustworthy Army
“Just great, more please ASAP, best read of this war, could not put it down, read in 2 days.”
“Every time I finish reading an instalment in Lynn Bryant’s Peninsular War Series, I have the same thought: “This book is even better than the last one.” This is one of the most tightly-plotted and thematically sound books in the series…this is what the Peninsular War must have been like for its participants — grim, muddy, and filled with hardship, for the camp followers, wives, and civilians as much as for the soldiers themselves. Real historical figures slip in and out of the narrative comfortably, as though they belong there…it is simply brilliant stuff, and I defy anyone to read the dénouement with dry eyes.”
“Lynn Bryant has done it again with this enthralling fifth story in her Peninsular War Series…as ever, I love the way real characters join the fictional ones, telling the story of Wellington’s 1812 campaign, and bringing it to life with all the drama, heartache, and courage that must have been involved. The author’s research is meticulous but one never feels that one is reading dry history. Highly recommended.”
“Every bit as good as the previous books in the series. There are many familiar characters and new ones are introduced throughout the book. Ms Bryant’s research is excellent, many of the characters were involved in the Peninsular Wars – Harry Smith springs to mind. If you’ve read A Spanish Bride by Georgette Heyer you will recognise him and his young bride Juana…at times my stomach was churning with excitement as the British Army retreated under dreadful conditions…an accurate telling of the ongoing war in Spain…all of them are wonderful.”
“I loved this novel. During Christmas I have read all five novels and really hope the author will continue writing about these fascinating people.”
Settings from An Untrustworthy Army
In book five, Wellington’s army is advancing into Spain for the first time since Talavera three years earlier. Still somewhat battered and bloody after the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz, they are nevertheless ready for battle. The book begins in Salamanca, with Wellington making a triumphal entry into the city. Salamanca is beautiful, very much a university city, and despite the crowds and the tourist traps is is very easy to imagine the city as Paul and Anne would have seen it in 1812, arriving at the cathedral for a celebratory mass.
Several weeks are spent with manoeuvres and counter manoeuvres before Wellington makes a snap decision to attack the French in the vicinity of the small village of Los Arapiles. The village has a small interpretation centre which is only open two or three times a week, but which gives a brilliant overview of the battle, including a spectacular diorama. I would recommend going to the museum first because it gives you an excellent background and also provides a guide to the various interpretation boards which are scattered around the battlefield itself.
To do the battlefield in one day you’ll need to drive or cycle it, and if you’re driving, I do recommend a four-wheel drive car! It’s a fantastic experience though. Not only is every part of the battle explained on a series of boards, all of which are translated into English, but there is additional information available through scanning codes with your smartphone.
There is a monument at the top of the Greater Arapile to the battle and a spectacular view over the whole field, which is remarkably unspoiled. It’s a steep but short climb to the top and well worth it. The Lesser Arapile is not accessible as it is private land.
Wellington attacked the French upon seeing that their line of advance had become too stretched, leaving a gap. He ordered Ned Pakenham to launch a surprise attack from this location. In the book, Lieutenant Simon Carlyon has just taken up a temporary secondment to Pakenham’s division and takes part in this first part of the battle.
Paul’s men, as part of the light division, were not much engaged in the battle, but the third brigade become involved in a skirmish in the little town of Alba de Tormes during the French retreat. The Spanish forces should have been guarding the bridge over the Tormes but had marched out several days earlier.
Wellington left the light division in Madrid so Paul’s men were not directly involved in the disastrous siege of Burgos. When, after several months, the French threatened to combine and attack Wellington’s army, the British retreated back to Ciudad Rodrigo on the Spanish border. Hill’s men, including the light division, had to retreat over the Guadarrama Mountains, and camped in the park of the Escurial on their way.
Back in Salamanca briefly, the light division were billeted in some of the old university buildings. The French had already converted many of these into barracks. After a brief respite, the army marched on through freezing rain, with no rations and men, women and children dying by the roadside.
At the end of 1812 Wellington’s army found themselves exactly where they had started. It would not be true to say that no progress had been made, however. Wellington’s superb victory at Salamanca had given warning to the French. He was to spend winter quarters looking at supplies, training and reinforcements, and when his army was ready to fight again the following year, Wellington was to leave Portugal behind for good.
I really enjoyed writing An Untrustworthy Army, revisiting my favourite characters and introducing new ones. The following excerpt takes place during the run up to the battle of Salamanca and is an excellent introduction for anybody who is new to Colonel van Daan’s approach to discipline. Enjoy.
Rueda, Spain, 1812
“Welcome to Spain,” the officer said. “Lieutenant Crispin, 110th fifth company. This is Lieutenant Steele who serves with me. As to the excitement, I’m not sure, but I’ve been told that the entire fourth company has just been found drunk in a wine cellar and dumped into the Duero by our esteemed commander, who has lost his sense of humour. I can’t believe…”
“David, look,” Steele interrupted. Witham followed his pointing finger. A mule cart was approaching, driven by a dark haired sergeant and it appeared to be piled high with a collection of clothing and kit, including muskets, coats, shoes and a miscellany of other garments. The sergeant was grinning and as he drove it past, somebody raised a cheer. Others followed and the sergeant laughed and waved.
“What on earth is happening?” Carlyon said.
“I’m not sure,” Steele said. “But I suspect the fourth company have just been ordered into the river to sober up. It must be freezing at this time of day.”
“But what is all this?” Witham said, bewildered.
His answer came immediately with a bellow which must have reached the French on the far bank of the river.
“Fourth company, MARCH. Quick time, stand up straight and if any one of you falls out, you are spending the night on watch, wearing exactly what you are now.”
They were approaching up the path in marching order, although Witham thought that some of their movements resembled a stagger rather than a march. He blinked, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing, and there was a whoop from behind him, followed by a loud huzzah and then there was cheering on all sides as the officers and men of the third brigade of the light division applauded the spectacle of the fourth company of the 110th returning to camp stark naked and frozen from their unexpected dousing in the river.
The evening air was cold and darkness was fast approaching. Some of the men were shivering already; all of them had goosebumps and many looked as though they had either just vomited or were about to do so. As Witham had the thought, a lanky private of around forty stepped out of formation and cast up accounts at the side of the road to the ironic cheers of the rest of the brigade. He had barely straightened when the impressive yell came again.
“Dransfield, get your skinny Lancashire arse back into line, before I throw you back in the river. Sergeant-Major Carter, march them into camp and get them lined up. I want a word with them before I have my supper.”
They lined up in neat formation on the edge of the camp and the rest of the brigade formed a wide circle around them. Witham looked around. Officers and men mixed freely in the crowd and he could see Portuguese and King’s German Legion uniforms as well as British regiments. They were all laughing, some of them with tears running down their face. Colonel van Daan stepped out in front of the hapless fourth company and his sergeant-major rapped out orders at a volume which rivalled his commanding officer. The men stood to attention, dripping and shivering in the gathering dusk. The colonel surveyed them.
“Jenson, do you know where my wife is?” he asked.
“Back at the tent, sir, waiting for you. Major Swanson suggested she might want to stay there for a while.”
“Thank you, Jenson. I wouldn’t want to put her off her supper.”
There was another ripple of laughter, quickly stilled, and Van Daan surveyed the men. Then he pointed:
“Over there, on the far bank. They’re called the French. Sometimes referred to as the enemy. You were sent out there this evening to guard our army, our guns and Lord Wellington and his staff. You were also guarding your own women and children and my wife.
“Do you have any idea what might have happened if they’d launched a surprise attack? We’d have been caught unprepared. Some of us would have got to arms because we’re the best bloody brigade in this army, and we’d have made a fight of it, probably held them off long enough to get warning to the rest of the light division and then on to the rest of the army, but most of us would have died to buy them that time. They’d have gone through our camp and our supplies and they’d have got to our women.”
The laughter had died away and there was suddenly total silence around the camp. Witham looked around at the faces of the men around him in the last vestiges of daylight and saw their expressions and he felt, suddenly, as though he had stepped into a different world. He realised that there were images in the heads of every man here and they were images that neither he or Carlyon yet understood.
“Enough of you have been with me long enough to know what that means,” the colonel went on, relentlessly. “You risked all that, for a drink and a laugh with the arseholes from the rifles. They might not know what they’ve done tonight or they might not care – Colonel Barnard will deal with them. But you – you know. You understand. And the fact that you thought so little of your brigade, your regiment, your comrades, your families and your honour has shocked me to the core. I thought I knew every one of you better than that. I’ve never been more disappointed in my life.”
There was a choking sound from one of the men, what sounded like a sob, turned quickly into a cough. Paul van Daan let the silence lengthen before he spoke again.
“You have disgraced your company, your officers and the 110th light infantry. But mostly, you’ve disgraced yourselves as men. I could let you stand there until you freeze to death, but I won’t. You are a pack of useless, drunken, disreputable gobshites, but you’re my drunken gobshites and in the 110th we look after our own. Sergeant-Major Carter, stand them down and get them to sort out their kit and get dressed, then get them fed. Take their names, every one of them, and make a separate list of the riflemen to give to Colonel Barnard when he sends an officer up to collect them. No grog for any one of them for two weeks and they’re to be separated from the rest of the battalion and kept under guard until we march again. Now get them out of my sight, they sicken me.”

Behind the scenes of our exciting makeover Baur au Lac Reloading
On the newly established blog "Baur au Lac Reloading", we invite you to follow the stunning transformation processes that are currently ongoing. See how the new areas take on colours and shapes and stay tuned for the great unveiling!
From horse-drawn carriages and electric lighting to virtual hotel tours and a live streaming studio - over almost two centuries, the Baur au Lac has not only successfully withstood the changing times, but used them to reinvent itself time and again. In this way, the hotel has always been able to offer its guests from all over the world the latest amenities in the areas of comfort and technical sophistication. From October 2021 to June 2022, this tradition will now be continued:
Zurich's grande dame is getting a spectacular "makeover".
14.01.2022 | Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction
These words by Pablo Picasso perfectly describe the recent events in the great Baur au Lac transformation process. Within a few days, the familiar image of the hotel lobby has completely vanished, taking with it wood paneling, tapestries and marble floors The canopy in the driveway has also been tackled. While on one side of the construction fence numerous workers are busy swinging their tools, on the other side business is going on as usual. The Salons I & II offer the reception and the concierge team a noble transitional home. On sunny days, the newly roofed bridge, connecting the garage and hotel entrance with the new reception area, offers panoramic views of Lake Zurich and the Alps.
07.01.2022 | Striking out on new paths
This week, we kicked off the spectacular makeover process of the Baur au Lac's entrance and reception area, which will be completed in June 2022. Until then, we await you on the other side of the Schanzengraben at Glärnischstrasse 18, from where a covered and heated bridge will take you to the reception and concierge desk as well as the Pavillon restaurant and our lobby bar Le Hall. In our latest video post, we are taking you on a 1-minute journey to show you how to find us.
23.12.2021 | New year, new look
The turn of the year is neither an end nor a beginning, but a moving on. At the Baur au Lac, this moving on process includes the continuation of the extensive rennovation works in the entrance and lobby area. For this, it will be necessary to literally break new ground. As a result, the forecourt as well as the lobby area will be temporarily inaccessible from 03 January and until mid-June 2022. Arrival will be via the hotel's own garage during this period.
02.11.2021 | #Come fly with me...
Follow the umbrella’s stunning return from various spectacular angles in our latest blog post!
On the evening of 12 November, hotel guests whose rooms faced the Baur au Lac Park were witness to an unusual spectacle. Our brand-new umbrella floated gracefully over the century-old treetops to its permanent place on the Baur au Lac terrace, where it will protect visitors from sun and rain as of spring 2022. The whole operation took over two hours and every detail had to be perfect.
The first curious visitors were able to catch a glimpse of the almost 10-metre-high and over 3-tonne umbrella and the newly renovated terrace end of November, for example at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. However, the outcome of the terrace makeover will only unfold its full splendour when spring arrives…
02.11.2021 | #TransformationTuesday
A building site is always the beginning of something new. The way there holds many different moments of transformation in store. Since the big patio umbrella literally made its "take-off", so many things have happened! But see for yourself and be amazed how the transformation of the terrace progresses stone by stone and tile by tile.
One thing is certain: the keystone has not yet been laid. More exciting things are about to happen! Look forward to the glorious return of the flying umbrella...
08.10.2021 | Spectacular take-off
The renovation work on the Baur au Lac terrace is in full swing. This week, the umbrella, which is almost 10 metres high and weighs around 3 tonnes, and thus the centrepiece of our terrace, was lifted out of its anchorage by means of a crane and transported away.
Be curious about what is coming!
04.10.2021 | First impressions...
After a record-breaking season, the Baur au Lac Terrace kicks off at the beginning of October so that locals and travellers from all over the world can once again enjoy the green oasis in the heart of Zurich just in time for the spring awakening in mid-April.

What is a mortgage broker?
A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary who brokers mortgage loans on behalf of individuals or businesses. Mortgage brokers strive to find a bank or direct lender that will agree to meet the particular loan an individual requires.
You’ll have a stress-free time getting a great deal on the mortgage you need in Redbridge if you work with a mortgage broker. Even if you have a poor credit score or any other issues that could affect your mortgage application, working with a reputable mortgage broker will still boost your chances considerably.
Professional mortgage brokers are bound under strict regulations and required to comply with banking and finance laws in the customer’s jurisdiction, so, you don’t have to worry about being in the wrong hands.
Handy Tools and Calculators
You can easily plan your future once you have an idea of the maximum you can borrow and how much the loan will cost. With this handy calculator, get a better understanding of how much your mortgage repayments will be, based on your full loan and interest rate. Simply fill in the values plus your term and press ‘Click to calculate’ to immediately discover the amount you must repay monthly.
Why Use A Mortgage Broker?
Working with a mortgage broker for your mortgage application in Redbridge can be beneficial in various ways. Some of the most prominent benefits are:
The most obvious benefit of choosing a mortgage broker is the potential to save money. You don’t have to handle the hard work, as this can be managed by an expert with ample experience, who will make sure your best interests are addressed. All you’ll need to do is fill out some details.
Some people are sceptical about this – especially with the concept of a mortgage broker not yet universally understood. There must be a catch somewhere, surely? Although such reservations are not entirely invalid, you should be aware that there is no benefit for mortgage brokers who do not work in your best interests.
If the broker cannot provide genuine reasons for recommending the mortgage they have (to you, their regulators, the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority), then they could be in serious trouble. To potentially reduce the cost of the entire loan, there are some mortgage brokers who can secure exclusive mortgages deals not available on the high street. A reputable mortgage broker will disclose details of how they take payment for their services and convey the components which make up the entire mortgage cost. Filing the pockets of a broker is of little value to a mortgage advisor company when compared to making sure customers have a positive experience.
Finds The Most Advantageous Deal
A mortgage broker will always be in favour of your own interests and not those of the lending institution. In addition to being your agent, they should also be knowledgeable consultants and problem solvers. You can get the best value as per interest rates, loan products and repayment amounts thanks to the wide range of mortgage products to which a broker has access. To ascertain your goals and needs (both short and long term), you’ll be interviewed by the mortgage broker. Amongst the benefits of working with experienced mortgage brokers are innovative mortgages and sophisticated solutions, because regular 15 or 30-year mortgages aren’t usually sufficient. These include money for children or carrying out much needed renovations, mortgages to raise capital for repaying debts or even money to buy other properties like buy to lets.
Has Flexibility Expertise to Meet Your Needs
A mortgage broker will work with the client in any situation, as well as manage the process and take care of any bumps in the road that may occur. If a borrower has credit issues for instance, the broker would know about lenders who have the best products available to meet their needs. The knowledge and capability of a broker to successfully source financing will be of great benefit to a borrower who realises the loan they need may be too large for a bank to approve.
Save Time & Hassle
It’s not all about money. Saving some extra cash is great, but so is your time and sanity. Take into consideration the time you would need to research different kinds of loans from multiple lenders. Unlike working with different lenders – which would require you to complete different forms every time – you’d only need one form with a mortgage broker. Your mortgage broker can make available a formal comparison of the loans recommended to advise on the information which completely illustrates cost differences, along with present rates, points and closing costs for every loan shown. Major lenders and those not so popular will be compared by your broker to seek out the most suitable deal for you, in terms of lower rates and total cost.
Take some of the work off your shoulders and outsource it to someone who can offer expert advice. A mortgage broker can provide an array of support throughout the application and approval process. This can include assisting with paperwork, responding to questions and helping with government scheme applications, as well as explaining all the available options and loan features you may not have considered or been aware of. Drawdown facilities, offset accounts and extra repayments (to name a few) are just some of the features involved. Your general mortgage experience and overall expenses can be largely affected by these features. Better still, your broker can answer any questions you might have over the phone or provide clarity if you don’t know much about these concepts and the impact they could have on you.
Access to exclusive non-advertised deals
There are exclusive deals that aren’t advertised by banks to which brokers have access. The banks push these deals on to brokers, who are in charge of selling the products. Contacting a broker will unlock these extra benefits you would miss out on if you were to approach the bank yourself.
A bank can provide access to their own deals (not those offered by other banks), but brokers can gain access to the entire market to find the best deals.
Better chance of pre-approval success
When you request an Agreement in principle/Decision in principle of a loan and are refused approval, this shows up on your credit rating. You’ll need the necessary knowledge and experience a broker has to secure approval on your first attempt.
Access to expert knowledge
Mortgage brokers help people secure loans for a living. Helpful information and exclusive deals you won’t find yourself are accessible to them. Loans come with certain subtleties you could miss if you’re not looking out for them. In the long run, subtleties like these are significant to your mortgage. If you have an experienced professional who can show you these things, you’ll be at a distinct advantage.
Instead of taking time out of your day to research thousands of loans and multiple lenders – and still potentially missing key subtleties – why not hand the work to someone who’s experienced in this industry? Just like you’d acquire the services of a hairdresser to replenish damaged hair or a plumber for leaking pipes, a mortgage broker is an excellent option for any of your home loan needs.

- People who have owned a property in the past, but not owned one for six months or more.
The rules and ideas on this are different across various lenders. Typically, there are no problems with being a First Time Buyer. To qualify for stamp duty relief, First Time Buyers must have never been property owners in any location in the world previously.
The mortgaging process might appear to be challenging, but this isn’t necessarily so. The purchase of your first home can be filled with excitement, so if you discover a well-respected broker to manage the process for a reasonable price, then use one. The reason you should use one is quite apparent. If you have no knowledge about cars and yours develops a fault, you would call a mechanic rather than attempt to fix it yourself. It’s the same with mortgages. You can cut down on cost, effort and time with mortgage brokers, so why not use one? The initial consultation is free of charge.
Buying a home
If you’re thinking of a home purchase any time soon – or even within a couple of years – you should familiarise yourself with everything involved with mortgages. Learn what to do before applying for a mortgage; what to watch for during the process; and how to use a mortgage after you’ve bought your home. If you would rather not take this approach, then instead contact an adviser, who will be able to walk you through the process.
Your credit is vital.
A mortgage is of major importance. Banks put up a lot of money at their own risk. So much so, they’ve been very careful since the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. Good credit helps to qualify for a mortgage, but it isn’t a necessity. We can also offer guidance regarding how much you can afford to pay for your new home and how to set your limit, depending on your ongoing situation. Not only will we help you buy your dream home, we’ll also help you finance it with the lowest cost and most convenient mortgage deal available.
Re-mortgage your home
Effectively, all you’d be doing with this is changing to a different lender to find a better or more affordable deal. They don’t necessarily have to be paired together. Let me clarify this. If your mortgage isn’t so big, you might consider it not worthwhile to pay an arrangement fee to a new lender for a low rate. You may realise that it’s less expensive to go on a slightly higher rate than paying any lender an arrangement fee. It’s best to always talk to someone before agreeing any deal, because you don’t want one that’s more expensive overall, even though the rate might be significantly lower.
Focus on any small print. One upside to re-mortgaging is that your usually not required to pay for valuation or solicitors fees, although some people don’t qualify for this. The reason is that it is based on your disposition alone at the time of re-mortgaging. So, do find out from your adviser.
A brilliant way to ensure you cut down on your mortgage bills is to re-mortgage on time. Even though a re-mortgage deal is accompanied by various benefits, it might not the best choice for you, depending on your unique circumstances.
- Depending on your unique needs, like…
- Mortgage debt is fairly minor.
- Financial circumstances have changed.
- Early repayment charge that’s costly.
- Home value reduced.
- You have credit problems.
- Present rate is just fine.
- We will advise you whether to re-mortgage or not.
Buy to Let
A property bought with the purpose of renting to tenants is known as ‘buy to let’. You aren’t allowed to live in the property by law. If you’re a First Time Buyer, you can purchase a buy to let property, but the number of lenders available is restricted. There are also extra checks made by the lender in these circumstances.
- You may need to know certain things when purchasing a buy to let property.
- The loan amount you can borrow is largely dependent on the rental income you receive.
- Other than your regular stamp duty, you will have to pay an extra 3% stamp duty on top.
- An extra 3% of the purchase price will still be required of you, even if the value of the property isn’t high enough for the stamp duty to be liable.
TIP: If you want to buy a second property, find out the amount you’ll be require pay from your conveyancer/solicitor. To help determine the most suitable mortgage to meet your needs, an expert mortgage adviser will know the specific questions to which you will need to provide answers. To find out if you qualify, contact our advisers today.
How Much Do Mortgage Brokers Charge?
Most mortgage brokers get paid commission from lenders, which will be a percentage of the mortgage loan you receive. This is often about 0.33%, even though it largely varies, based on your mortgage needs. For example, a residential mortgage or buy to let and if you’ve had any credit issues recently. Most independent brokers charge a flat fee, which is typically around £500. Don’t forget to find out how brokers collect payment. They should be honest and up front, telling you the amount owed and the fee structure they have in place.
For our fee structure, we charge clients £695; any commission we receive from mortgage lenders is subtracted from that figure If the commission paid to us falls short of £695, our client will then be asked to make up the difference between the commission we receive and the figure of £695. For instance, if the commission we receive is £495, then we would require you to pay £200 to make up the difference. This can be paid when your mortgage offer has been produced, meaning we only get paid on results.
How Much Can I Borrow?
A lot of factors influence this, like the number of children you have, the deposit amount, your income and any debts you might have in the background. How much a lender is willing to lend is based upon a full affordability assessment, whereby they will look to understand your income, as well as any loan or credit card commitments and regular essential household expenditure. For mortgage purposes, they will also perform a credit check to be sure you have an adequate credit rating.
To be sure of how much you can borrow, obtain a decision in principle, prior to completing a full application. Arrange an appointment with one of our qualified mortgage experts today. At the initial stage, we can give you an estimate, without needing to perform any credit checks.

The more information available to you when trying to secure the best mortgage deal, the more advantages you’ll enjoy. The latest mortgage news below will provide the insight you need to properly get started.
Mortgage Regulatory Information
Most mortgages in the UK are provided by building societies, banks and specialised mortgage lenders. There is a total of 200 different financial institutions which offer mortgages in Britain, although Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society owns the market’s largest share.
Even though UK banks and building societies have always been regulated closely, the FCA (formerly the Financial Services Authority) put a regulatory scheme in place for mortgages, because of the Financial Services Act 2000.
The professional services of mortgage providers are monitored by the FCA. There are stern rules that serve as a guide with regards using unfair, deceitful promotions and adverts, as well as checks for financial service contracts for consumers. Regulations were initially documented in the rules for Mortgage Conduct of Business (MCOB), but were overhauled because of the 2014 FCA Mortgage Market Review (MMR).
The Prudential Regulation Authority (a sister organisation to the FCA) presides over deposit-taking organisations in the UK, with regards their financial conduct.
They ensure firms have adequate capital levels to balance out their lending risks. The first step in tackling any issue you have with regards your mortgage provider is to take it up with them. If you think it hasn’t been sorted out satisfactorily, you can take the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service if necessary. Some mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority such as moist Buy to Let mortgages and if you make a complaint about these you are unable to take these to the Financial Ombudsman Service Reach out to the Mortgage Saving Experts in Redbridge.

When one of New Zealand’s largest timber companies needed to modify and extend its existing industrial process building to increase processing and storage capacity, they called in GRIT to design and execute the brownfield industrial project.
Located in the Central North Island region, this Copper Chrome Arsenate (CCA) Treatment Plant was originally built in 2016 for one of New Zealand’s largest timber companies. This rapidly growing timber company specialises in processing operations for kiln drying, planing, treating, and remanufacturing timber.
Having anchored the region as the wood processing capital of New Zealand, the company is committed to continually upgrading production facilities to enable further product range development, market base growth, and long term success.
While the existing CCA treatment plant originally met the company’s production and storage needs, the demands of the construction industry continued to grow. Four years on and the client had outgrown the existing plant. The client wanted to ramp up distribution of CCA treated timber to their consumers but were limited by the tonnage of CCA treated timber that could be stored within the existing facility.
They knew they would need to increase the size of the CCA treatment plant if they wanted to package and distribute more treated timber to consumers while meeting New Zealand’s strict durability standards.
So, in November 2020, the client approached GRIT to provide civil and structural design services for a proposed modification and extension to their existing CCA Treatment Plant.
We worked closely with the client to fully understand their desired project outcomes in terms of purpose, durability, compliance, and acceptable levels of risk. Our team of civil and structural engineers then went to work designing a solution that met the client’s requirements, minimised operational impact, and adhered to New Zealand safety regulations and standards.
GRIT’s design included modifying existing buildings to improve layout efficiency for operations, and the design of an innovative industrial slab drainage system to ensure excess CCA can be re-used within the plant’s process system.
GRIT are also providing the following services as part of this project:
- concept stage optioneering
- reverse engineering for old structures
- existing building seismic assessment and analysis
- durability advice
- safe installation methodologies
- construction monitoring services
GRIT’s civil and structural design will facilitate the construction of a 2,600m2 extension to the existing CCA Treatment Plant. This will equate to a 120% increase in storage capacity for CCA treated timber on site and contribute to the client’s goal of increasing the plant’s timber processing capacity. Construction of the project is underway.
- Design of fit-for-purpose 2,600m2 extension to existing CCA Treatment Plant
- Projected increase of 120% storage capacity for CCA treated timber on site
- Design of 30m long Glulam rafters and 10m high cantilever steel columns/timber poles to improve layout efficiency for plant operations
- Design of fibre reinforced industrial slab to withstand 29T front axle forklift loads
- Excess CCA will be able to be re-used within the plant’s process system

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney plans to file his own lawsuit over testimony in the House impeachment inquiry, withdrawing his bid to join a separate case filed last month by a former Trump adviser, his attorneys said Monday.
The plans were revealed in a court filing that withdrew Mulvaney's earlier request to become part of a suit by Charles Kupperman, the president's former deputy national security adviser.
Lawyers for Mulvaney had asked Friday evening to join that lawsuit, saying his case presented similar legal issues to that of Kupperman. But they switched course following a conference call with a federal judge. They said they instead plan to file their own lawsuit asking a court to rule on whether Mulvaney must fol

Before taking any step further, you need to your needs and requirements first and the period in which you want your work to be done. But that’s not it, opting for developers which are best suitable for your business is not everyone’s cup of tea. You need to do thorough research and analysis before hiring anyone.
An effective and efficient team of developers is the core foundation of any Tech company. A web and software developers consider as the backbone of an IT company. Now, the question arises from where you can hire your developers including web developers, python developers, application developers, etc. Keep in mind to hire those web developers of the team who are cost-effective for your Ecommerce Web Development.
With the help of this article, you will get a brief idea about various Website Development Company India and Indian developers, alongside the various reasons for opting for them as your custom software developer. Along with that, you will get to know the key difference between outsourcing of developers and out-staffing of developers.
INDIAN IT SERVICES IN AN AFFORDABLE RANGE
India is one of the emerging countries in the field of IT due to its services being globally accessible at an affordable price range. Indian developers are popular for the best and first choice for any online business. Companies established in European countries and the US is constantly looking for hiring a bunch of talented Indian software developers and Apps Developments Company India for stimulating growth in software innovation.
Every year the youth of India is producing abundant talent in the field of the IT industry and specifically in Web Designing. India is one of the most recognized and preferable for outsourcing offshore hubs. It helps the companies to stay in the market by giving them head-to-head competition, alongside increasing their ability to expand in this enormous market.
IT sector is the most promising sector in India. Almost every 3rd or 4th person is directly or indirectly approaches to the IT sector. India is having the most promising talent, ultimately making it the very first choice among tech companies. Also, various IT startups around the globe for opting for outsourced qualified and professional developers for their projects.
OUTSOURCING OF DEVELOPERS VS OUT-STAFFING OF DEVELOPERS
There are two models to consider while hiring top developers for your company. The first one is an IT outsourcing model and the second one is an IT out-staffing model. Usually, vendors can opt for any one of these models.
Outsourcing means hiring a third person or they include a third party to deliver the goods and services offered by you on your behalf. In the IT outsourcing model, the companies hire a third party specifically for their IT needs for their custom web development. In this method, the vendors and the software development team tend to work simultaneously alongside the vendor takes the initiative for the entire development of the product.
On the other side, in an IT out-staffing method, all the skills are augmenting alongside the expertise of their staff. These models allow you to hire software developers from various Indian IT companies according to your specific projects. In this model, each developer is specifically hired for their project and is exclusively managed by the customer/ client directly.
REASONS FOR HIRING INDIAN DEVELOPERS
A survey in 2018 revealed that due to the lack of skilled applicants, around 45-50% of employers find difficulty in filling the IT positions in their company. The major lack of right applicants are in western countries. Though there are many developers but find the one which is best suitable for you and doesn’t dig a huge hole in your pocket is the ultimate key.
It is the main reason why various companies are deriving towards several off-shoring outsources which tend to improve and develop their software. Most of the companies are growing their company organically by opting for Indian developers for their software development. Indian IT engineers and developers have a good grip on their areas of specialization.
ENGLISH SPEAKING PROGRAMMERS
Usually, companies are looking for those developers who can easily get compatible with any language (preferably English). The English language is considered a necessary skill that every Indian deems to learn. India is the second-largest country in the world to be known for using the English language.
Indian programmers and developers are not only good for their work but also have good communication skills and are quite comfortable in the English language. They are also specially trained for communicating effectively over various mediums of interaction.
Hiring Indian developers can reduce the spending of IT companies by 20-30% by off-shoring their web development projects. Along with that, you can hire coders, developers, programmers to assure the best possible result.
Even if companies are not willing to opt for Indian developers, yet they can establish a software center in India as the cost of living in India is quite less than other west side countries. But you may have to do some investment for leasing property, doing payroll, etc. which will surely be less than spending a fortune in other companies.
Every year in India around 1 million engineers are produced every year. It may not be easy for any company to find the one which is best for them. Rather than going for freelancer developers, companies opt to go for web development companies. It not only reduces the work of the company but also gives them their best of the best persons.
Indian developers are usually popular for doing their work effectively and efficiently. They opt for smarter ways while completing a project to ensure creativity and innovation in their development process.
It does not matter what time it is in your country, Indian developers can do their work around the clock. Since they can work around the clock which ultimately means they can deliver work on time.
Day-to-day business needs their projects to be regulated completely before anything takes a turn around. It is crucial for regular business because if the developer doesn’t complete the project on time, then they initially won’t have time to market it in the industry. Perhaps, if they market fast then they have an added leverage over other companies.
By hiring an Indian developer not only do you cut your additional costs but also they produce the result with the best of quality. Since the quality is not compromised at any cost it has to lead the Indian developers to hold the number one slot in custom software development.
Indian software development companies and website developers are known to give their best t delivering the produce, alongside ensuring the support and maintenance of the software. As if any changes are taken into account of the business then the same can be done to the software.
Companies should hire Indian developers as they intend to get flexible as much as possible. By hiring Indian developers under your budget or in a face market value within a scalable model, then they can do their projects whenever the client needs it.
Indian developers do their work according to their client’s needs and requirements, alongside providing them with new ideas and innovation for the best possible result.
Huge ranges of services are provided by Indian developers as India has a vast population. The Indian developers are specialized in various fields including mobile application development, native development, larval development, full-stack developer, blockchain consulting, etc.
Companies can opt for various services and still not get into the rabbit hole. Alongside, they can complete various projects whilst simultaneously which ultimately saves a lot of time and additional investment in projects.
The Indian developers have started adjusting themselves to various time zones around the world. Alongside, they deliver you with the best of the final product according to your time zone requirements.
For the best of results, you can hire a web development company as they will work dedicatedly for your work to be done in time. Also, they tend to bring out the best from their team.
NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES

SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE
If you are hiring an Indian developer then the time zone difference is not a barrier for them. They are excellent in delivering support and assistance even around the clock. They tend to provide services 24×7.
It indicates that around the year’s Indian developers have started adjusting well with the time zone demand and needs. They tend to work for your company day and night to produce and deliver the best solution to you. They are getting higher pay as per the basic Indian standards.
When it comes to outsourcing projects in the IT industry, India is the biggest game-changer. Around 60-65% of revenue accounts to be coming from doing the export of IT services. The above-mentioned percentage is nearly equal to around 7.2-7.5 percent of India’s GDP.
There were two primary reasons for this happening. This first was the quality of the end product and secondly, they are affordable in a cost-effective manner.
Indians have highly skilled IT professionals with minimal labor cost. Big brands like hp, dell, etc have opted to outsource their various business projects with outsourcing companies in India.
If you want to ensure that you get supreme class quality, alongside saving your money and cost-cutting. By opting for outsourcing an enormous number of companies have achieved success immensely. It has helped companies in delivering world-class quality services and products which ultimately has led to huge profits in business.

Irish Proverb: Cheshire Cat Magnetic Belts, Persian New Year, Pre-Gaming Ides of March, and St. Patrick’s Day, and Other News in and of and by Poetry
I love this Irish proverb, continuous cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom, because I won’t lie to you, I confess I have been associated with this trait, in fact, this trait is my practice and devotion, and this trait is—well, for example, Mickey Mouse, that indefatigable spirit of being undaunted, is referred to by British cultural critics, that relentlessly cheerful, idiot optimist mouse. Yeah. There, I think that says it. So this week is a great day for the Irish, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll be hearing words of poetry by William Butler Yeats and James Joyce and Seamus Heaney, and Irish blessings, and our Persian communities are celebrating Persian New Year, it’s Spring!—we did it—we got through the winters of our discontents– I think that sums up what it is about Rumi and Hafiz that is so lovable—Rumi is the best selling author in the United States—this man who wrote in the 1200s B.C., by which you know I mean Before Coffee! And Hafiz, in the 1300’s B.C.— AND Poetry Slow Down another good news to make us cheerful and wise, we will be wisely negotiating the Ides of March! Beware, beware, Julius Caesar was told, but did he listen, no . . . in fact he was snarky, to the old lady warning him—didn’t he readBeauty and the Beast and realize that gnarly old ladies have the wisdom and the power? –Heed their advice! But, he taunted her, Ides of March Snides of March, nah nah nah nah nah nah—only to receive about 48 or 148 stab wounds on the Senate steps a little later . . . so don’t count your Ides til they’re done, I’m just sayin, and they will be done, with a little help from your Poetry Slow Down, so, whew. And we have some science news that we will call our poets to weigh in on, to enable us to be continuously cheerful as a sign of wisdom . . . the recent news of Einstein’s theory of gravitational waves being proven reminds us of the possibility of a third magnetic belt around Earth appearing mysteriously, as if two were not enough to keep our astrophysicists worried and there actually was a group, Tethers conceiving a space project in which we suspend a giant tether into the belts to ward off some of the electrons; the Van Allen belts, just the two of them encircling our earth,  are so radioactive that they knock out satellites and jeopardize astronauts and who knows what else . . . but our poets are on the case as you knew they would be.
So we will begin with news on the topic of wisdom and the struggle to make a life of meaning and purpose and solace AND cheer—enduring —which will take us to some great poems on what and how to make of our moments, and to Rumi, and Hafiz, so let’s slow down, get our cheery game faces on for . . .”Continual cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom.

METHODS of insect control are sometimes classified under the following four headings— Quarantine, Cultural Methods, Biological Control and Chemical Treatments.
Each method has its own particular part to play in preventing the spread and multiplication of insect pests and it is essential for maximum results that everyone— whether he be a commercial grower or a backyard gardener—has a general understanding of the principles involved.

Give Me The Fish (GMTF): The terms we use affect the world around us. They are our link to the world and how the world links back to us. Words mean things. If we are not specific in our word choice our ability to bend and shape the world in our image is severely hampered. This is why it’s important to use the correct words at the correct time and know exactly what we are saying when we use them.
In this case, we are talking about word choice in the gym. A Coach is more than just a personal trainer. Training is more than just stepping into the gym, and being in the gym doesn’t make you an athlete.
But, these are things you should be, and if you want to be an athlete, you need to understand exactly what those terms mean.
Table of Contents
“Words Mean Things”
This is a phrase I’ve heard yelled out, said, written down, and used as a comeback for longer than I can remember.
The Marine Corps is big on this and while I have definitely drank the kool-aid, they’re right.
Communication is a large part of being human and, it’s what allows us to function in society.
Words shape how we interact with each other, how we treat certain topics, and ultimately their use affects our actions.
Because of this, it’s essential that we fully understand what certain words mean and how they should be used before we actually use them.
In this case, I’m talking about terms in the fitness world. Specifically coaching, training, and athletes.
Training and Working Out
Training and working out are terms that tend to be used interchangeably, but this is both incorrect and detrimental to our progress.
“Working out” is a snapshot.
It’s what you are doing in terms of physical activity that is extraneous of your normal daily functioning activities with the intent of better health.
Notice how I say “intent”.
A workout by itself is meaningless without context, whether it is part of a training plan or not.
There is nothing you are building to or from. You may have short term adaptation if it’s new or different from what you have performed previously, but nothing more.
You cannot achieve better health through a single workout.
“Training” means you are developing something in a repeatable and consistent way in order to accomplish a specific goal. That goal could be as generic as “to get stronger”, or as specific as “hitting a 500lb 1 RM Squat at the Southern California Powerlifting Competition on May 22nd.”
Training requires a methodical and well developed plan that can not only be used for training progress but can have parts easily discernable so as to know what needs to be improved, and what doesn’t need to be improved.
A training plan can even tell us what movements affect what movements, and what is preventing you from gaining a personal record in the Squat.
Training is a strategic way to reach your goals that can be viewed in context, by looking out weeks, months, and years.
Tracking both short-term progress and long-term adaptation allows us to build off previous adaptations.
Which, in English means, a series of intelligently planned workouts put in place to achieve a specific goal.
Training is the method for getting better in a specific and controlled fashion.
If you are having a hard time discerning if you are training or not, pinpoint how you are building from your previous workout (or training cycle). If you are not, or you can’t, I hate to say it (I actually love to say this), but you are not training, you are among the litany of people worldwide deceiving themselves.
A coach is not a “personal trainer”.
To be clear, a Coach is a Trainer. And, obviously, a Personal Trainer is a Trainer.
But, a “Personal” Trainer is not a Coach.
A personal trainer is somebody who trains somebody else to perform a repetitive action that is taught to accomplish a specific goal.
Just like with horses, a trainer for people will lead you through a workout and tell you exactly what to do and will tell you “when” when you are to do that.
For dogs, you teach it to sit, when you say “sit”, to heel when you say “heel”, and to come when you snap your fingers or whistle.
Same principle for a personal trainer. You walk into the gym, they tell you exactly what exercises to do, when, and exactly how often, without ever mentioning why you are doing that exercise in the first place.
Coaches teach, guide, and mentor.
Coaches teach you the methods, show you how “commands” are applied and let you decide how and when to apply the trained methods.
A Personal Trainer trains people, Coaches train people how to train better.
Being An Athlete
Webster’s dictionary is incorrect.
Why do I have the authority to say this? Because, they, like most of the population, do not know what an athlete is.
By their definition, an athlete is somebody who is “proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise”.
What does that even mean, “proficient”?
If I have been training for over 10 years and I have trained numerous people to be stronger and more competent in the Squat, to most beginners, I would seem pretty damn proficient.
But, if Louie Simmons walked in, who has been squatting for 40 years, has set multiple world records, and has trained hundreds of athletes to do the same, to him, I might not seem quite so good.
Because of this grey area, and because in the training world we try to be very specific to control the chaos, we narrow down this definition.
An athlete is somebody who is training.
As in they have a progressive, methodical, and well-built plan, who is striving to be proficient enough to accomplish their specific goal.
Not everyone that steps into a gym is an athlete, but it has nothing to do with if they are a sponsored athlete, compete, or if they are fat or slow, or look like Hercules.
It has to with their desire to be proficient in whatever specific goal they have set.
Saying you’re an athlete is a statement of your level of involvement.
Calling someone an athlete is the acknowledgment of the respect that exists for what the individual is trying to achieve.
Acting Professional Gives Professional Results
Words mean things. If we talk professionally, act professionally, and train professionally, we get professional results.
If you step into my gym, we train.
If you ask for my help, I coach you.
When you refer to yourself, or I refer to you, you are an athlete.
Your mental state is affected by your ability to communicate, which translates into how we act and how we perform.
Let’s get the basics right, communicate professionally, and get you in the right mindset to ensure that your training is on the right track.
Until next time,

‘Mayochup’ Is Here, But Did Cajuns Really Need Heinz To Mix Their Mayo And Ketchup For Them?
Mayochup is coming, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Back in April, Heinz began teasing their fusion of Mayo and Ketchup after releasing their own signature mayonnaise.
After poll results came back positive, Heinz moved forward and here we are. Mayochup was the name that was chosen and another Twitter poll is asking followers to decide where the condiment should make its debut. Followers were also encouraged to nominate their own city.
Voting ended last night, so we'll know more soon—but here is my question: Is this something that people in South Louisiana will rush out to buy? The condiment collabo is an exciting new concept for some, but here in south Louisiana we're pretty used to this tasty concoction.
Everyone has their own way of making it, but it's pretty much the defacto "dip" at crawfish boils (or for any seafood, really) and has been forever. Some people add Worcestershire sauce while others add Tabasco or even crab boil to the mix. A quick Google search yielded this recipe as the top result:
Whether you call it fancy sauce, spicy dip, "Cane's" sauce, seafood dip, cocktail sauce etc. I feel like some Cajuns may view the pre-mixed Mayochup along the same lines of roux in a jar. Sure, it's convenient, but it's way better when you make your own and everyone does it differently.
We can expect to see Mayochup by the end of the month, available at stores like Walmart and even Amazon. Even if someone brings Mayochup to the crawfish boil, someone will definitely sprinkle their own seasoning into the mix.
Will it end up in your grocery basket? Let me know!

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic energy that can occur naturally from lightning and solar flares or from a man-made event such as the high altitude detonation of a nuclear bomb. A severe EMP generated by a nuclear bomb in the earth’s atmosphere would immediately damage the electrical grid and most electronic devices in a wide geographic area. Because generators, both permanent standby and portable, contain many electronic components, it is likely that they will be damaged to a point where they are inoperable. However, EMP’s involving lightning or solar storms are typically less severe, posing the greatest to the power grid itself, including transformers. With a (less severe) naturally occurring EMP, most generators have a good chance of remaining operable, along with most electronic devices.
You can attempt to protect your generator system from an EMP but success will depend on many variables such as the cause and severity of the EMP as well as your chosen method of protection. One method of protection used for smaller portable generators is to “shield” them in a “Faraday Cage” or “Faraday Bag”, which are metal enclosures made with a good electric conductive material such as aluminum or copper. A Faraday device blocks electromagnetic fields by distributing them around it’s exterior, protecting what’s inside. Another method of protection, while not as practical, is to remove all vital electronic components from your generator and store them in a Faraday Cage or Bag.
Even if you are successful in protecting your generator from a severe EMP by use of an enclosure, you are not out of the woods. Remember that generators need fuel in order to run. Larger standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane or diesel fuel. If your natural gas utility shuts down, you cannot run your generator and if you use liquid propane or diesel fuel from a tank, you will only be able to run your generator as long as there is fuel in the tank. Portable generators run on gas and while you may have enough gasoline on hand to run your generator for a day or a couple of days, you will eventually need to make a trip to a gas station, whose pumps will likely have been taken out by a severe EMP. And even if your generator is running, remember that an EMP can destroy all devices with electronic circuitry, whether they are plugged in or not.
In sum, while precautions can be taken to increase the odds of your generator working after a severe EMP event, the risk is high that you will be without power.
If you are concerned about the ability of your generator to function after any kind of EMP, you might consider purchasing a small portable solar charger. These are lightweight chargers that harness sunlight via solar panels to produce energy that can charge smaller electronic devices such as cell phones, iPads and portable radios. While the power generating capability of solar chargers is very limited, they can charge some of your essential communications devices. Don’t forget to store all of these items in a Faraday Bag or protect them in some other way as they could always be rendered inoperable if left exposed to the effects of an EMP.
Will Generators Survive an EMP?
Whether you have a permanent standby generator or a smaller portable generator, the ability of your equipment to survive an EMP depends largely on the severity of the EMP. As mentioned previously, EMP’s can occur naturally from lightning or from solar flare disturbances or they can be generated by the detonation of a nuclear bomb in the earth’s atmosphere.
While the damage inflicted by either kind of EMP can be enormous, damage stemming from a nuclear EMP is thought to be the most severe. The damage could cover an entire continent and involve not just the electric grid but virtually everything that contains electric circuitry, including permanent standby generators and portable generators. The damage would be widespread and would include automobiles, trucks, aircraft, pumps at gas stations, water plants, refrigeration systems, HVAC systems, sewage plants, etc.
It is very difficult to protect a permanent standby generator from a nuclear EMP partly because of it’s size but you can attempt to limit EMP damage by installing safety devices such as suppressors and voltage transient protectors. This can get a bit complicated, but a discussion with your electrician will help you with a protection game plan. Protecting a portable generator from a nuclear EMP is not quite as challenging as smaller portable generators can be stored in a Faraday Cage or a Faraday Bag. If storing the entire generator unit is not possible, you can always remove electric components from your generator and store them in a Faraday device where they will be protected.
EMP damage resulting from natural occurrences such as lightning or a solar flare has the potential of being severe but would be centered on the electrical grid. Permanent standby generators and portable generators would not be affected directly, nor would appliances with electrical circuitry. In fact, if the electric grid were to “go down” due to an EMP with natural causes, that is the moment for a backup generator to shine. All the generator needs is a source of fuel to run on and they can deliver electricity to power your home or small business as you planned at the outset.
How Do You Protect A Generator From an EMP?
In the event of a nuclear bomb-generated EMP, it is very difficult to protect a large permanent standby generator in a Faraday Cage or Bag due to its size. You can achieve some level of protection by having your electrician install equipment mentioned previously (suppressors and voltage transient protectors). Your electrical contractor can review all of your options when it comes to protecting your permanent standby generator from severe EMP damage. Smaller portable generators (or their electronic components) can more easily be placed in Faraday Cages or Bags to protect them from more severe EMP damage.
Remember that in n cases where you have a “natural” EMP event caused by lightning or solar flares, your generator equipment is not at a great deal of risk as the primary damage will be to the power grid itself (substations, transformers, etc.) and not your generator. In these instances, if you have a large permanent standby generator, it should automatically engage upon loss of power from the grid. If you have a smaller portable generator, you can start it manually.
Where To Buy an EMP Generator?
By definition, an EMP generator is a device that knocks out all electronic devices within a certain range. They are often used as sources of entertainment in books and movies and are not available for purchase by consumers. However, EMP generators can be made at home by do-it-yourselfers with wires, on/off switches, a soldering iron and a shell such as a disposable camera enclosure. If you have an annoying neighbor who plays his stereo at all hours of the night, you may be tempted to build an EMP generator but they can get you into trouble, not to mention being dangerous!
On the other hand, if your search for an “EMP Generator” means that you are looking to generate power for your home or small business in the wake of an EMP event, you can purchase a larger permanent standby generator system or a smaller portable generator. Permanent standby systems are typically installed by licensed electricians, while portable generators are available at dealers and at most home improvement stores. While both of these types of generators are designed to deliver electricity in the event of a grid outage, remember that they can be damaged by an EMP if not protected.
Will an EMP Destroy Solar Panels?
While solar panels can be affected somewhat by an EMP, they should largely survive an attack because they do not house circuit technology (they are just gathering devices for the sun’s energy). Some estimates have an EMP event diminishing the power generating ability of a solar panel by roughly 10%. What’s important to understand is that a solar power system consists not only of solar panels, but also circuit-based equipment such as solar charge controllers (which charge batteries) and voltage inverters (which convert battery power into AC power). Both of these components can be damaged in an EMP attack because they contain electrical circuitry. So, while solar panels themselves will continue to function after an EMP attack, you should have a backup solar charge controller and a backup voltage inverter stored safely in a Faraday Cage where they are kept out of harm’s way and available to use in the event of an EMP.
Will an EMP Affect Solar Power?
Whether or not a solar power system will be affected by an EMP will depend on what produced the EMP and it’s severity. Remember that EMP’s can be created naturally by solar flare disturbances and lightning or they can be generated by the detonation of a nuclear bomb in the earth’s atmosphere.
As a general rule, EMP’s caused by lightning or solar flares are not as severe as nuclear EMP’s and should not damage a home’s solar power system. EMP’s caused by lightning or solar flares can cause an outage to the grid which means that a home can continue to generate electricity from it’s solar power system.
In the case of a severe (nuclear) EMP attack, solar panels themselves can survive and retain roughly 90% of their effectiveness. There are no circuits in solar panels that would be prone to severe EMP damage. However, solar power system components such as solar charge controllers and voltage inverters can be damaged severely as they both contain circuits. For this reason, it is always a good idea to have spare solar equipment components stored in a safe enclosure such as a Faraday Cage or a Faraday Bag.
Worth noting is the fact that many solar system owners have their systems connected to the grid so that they can sell excess power back to their local utility. This connection to the grid exposes the homeowner to the risk of EMP damage originating in the grid, where power surges can travel back to the home, damaging not only solar power equipment but also devices throughout the home. There are retrofits available that can make a solar panel system a true backup power system that operates without a connection to the grid, which would lessen the risk of EMP damage.
Can a Solar Generator Survive an EMP?
Solar generators are smaller portable generators that gather power from the sun via solar panels, with the power being stored in batteries within the unit. An inverter within the generator converts battery power from DC into AC so that electronic devices can be charged. While solar generators have limited power capacity compared to gas-powered portable generators, they work well “off the grid” as they do not require gasoline to operate. There are many models available with a wide range of capacity but the typical solar generator can charge smaller devices like cell phones, GPS devices, MP3 players and laptops for many hours. In fact, one solar generator that we came across was rated to power a large refrigerator for between 6-25 hours! The advantages of solar generators are quiet operation and the fact that they don’t require fuel. The disadvantages include a slow battery charge rate, limited power capacity and high cost. Solar generators are not a suitable backup for a typical home due to the limited power capacity.
There is no “EMP proof” solar generator available to our knowledge. However, a solar generator can survive an EMP if it is stored in a Faraday Cage or a Faraday Bag. If a solar generator is outside of a protective enclosure when an EMP event occurs, two parts of the generator that are at risk: the inverter and the battery charge controller. For this reason, you should buy spare versions of these two parts and store them in a Faraday Cage or Bag. In sum, if your solar generator unit is exposed when an EMP event takes place, having a spare inverter and a spare battery charge controller safely packed away in your Faraday Bag means that you will be able to use them to restore operation to your EMP-damaged solar generator.

Ionic liquids (ILs) consist of ions and remain liquid at temperatures below 100°C. The so-called room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are most suitable as solvents for chemical reactions and other applications. Comparing with conventional organic solvents, ILs have many favorable properties, such as very low vapor pressure, a wide liquid range, low flammability, high ionic conductivity, high thermal conductivity, high dissolution power toward many substrates, high thermal and chemical stability, and a wide electrochemical potential window. Due to these unique properties, ILs have been widely recognized as solvents or reagents in a variety of applications, including organic catalysis, inorganic synthesis, biocatalysis, polymerization, and engineering fluids. Typical IL cations are nitrogen containing (such as alkylammonium, N, N′-dialkylimidazolium, N-alkylpyridinium, and pyrrolidinium) or phosphorous containing (such as alkylphosphonium). The common choices of anions include halides, BF4, PF6 –, CH3CO2 –, CF3CO2 –, NO3 –, Tf2N– (i.e., (CF3SO2)2N–), [RSO4]–, [R2PO4]–, etc. Some typical cations and anions are illustrated in Scheme 5.1a.

It’s Friday mailbag time. Hope y’all had a fantastic Halloween and are ready for a wonderful weekend of football! If you’ve got a question for next time, you can reach out to me on Twitter or Instagram.
Now on to the mailbag:
When are the Broncos going to accept the fact that John Elway needs to go? — @johnsms3
I know Broncos fans are extremely frustrated about the direction of their team — and rightfully so, as they continue to lose. When teams are struggling, especially with a subpar roster, the blame goes directly to the general managers. But most general managers aren’t the best player to ever wear their team’s uniform and don’t have a bust in Canton.
John Elway is a hero in Denver and will always get a longer leash with this team. Elway has been the general manager since 2011, and his two best accomplishments are drafting Von Miller in 2011 and convincing Peyton Manning to sign with the Broncos. Both led to the Super Bowl 50 victory. But since then, there’s been nothing but disappointment.
The Broncos have failed to draft a successful replacement for Manning at quarterback. In fact, between the 2013 and 2017 drafts, Elway failed to pick a single impact player in the first three rounds. It appears the last two drafts, which include players like Bradley Chubb, might have enough talent to turn around the franchise. Their future success will hinge highly on rookie quarterback Drew Lock, who has been on injured reserve.
If Lock doesn’t pan out, I think it’s safe to assume Elway’s tenure will be over.
Why do you think fans/media write off Tom Brady in the beginning of each season, then get shocked when he makes the AFC Championship and Super Bowl? — @076er_
Short answer: People are tired of the Patriots winning each season, so they hope the Patriots will regress the upcoming season. Plus, Brady is a dinosaur and people assume — and I’m with them — that his body will eventually quit on him. But, the TB12 method has yet to fail him.
It’s clear Brady doesn’t move as well anymore, but he can still throw the ball to move the offense, and that’s all that matters. With their defense, Brady doesn’t need to be “the guy” very often, which is exactly what the Patriots want.
I just want to add that I enjoy watching the Patriots play, and I hope Brady plays for as long as he can. I like watching the best, whether it’s the NFL or college football. If you’re going to spend three hours watching football, don’t you want to spend it watching the elite? I know, it can be boring to watch the same team over and over again, but the Patriots are the best in the NFL at changing their scheme week to week, so you do get to see a different team each week.
With the trade deadline passing, how do you view players that speak out in regard to the compensation that was given up for them — or, players that almost assign their own value (looking at you, Jamal Adams)? Is this something that most NFL players think about? — @adamrads0925
Generally speaking, players always know or value their worth. That’s why we attempt to get paid more than the last contract. “Geoff Schwartz is the highest-paid right guard” sounds pretty awesome to hear!
Now, regarding Adams, that’s a classic case of a player truly realizes the NFL is a business for the first time. Every player eventually has this moment (and here’s a tease: I’m going to write about my own next week). Most ex-players rolled their eyes at Adams, because we understand it’s a business. If someone is calling the Jets, of course they are answering the phone. It would be irresponsible for them not to answer and at least hear out the offer.
And trust me, I understand what it feels like for a team to not want you. I know that’s how Adams feels, but the Jets didn’t trade him. They kept him, which means they value his play.
Who is the best player in the NFL that the casual fan hasn’t heard of? — @PabloBison
I know people have disagreed with me on this, but I think it’s Luke Kuechly of the Carolina Panthers. He’s a Hall of Fame-level linebacker, and it just feels like he’s not appreciated enough because he plays for a team without a big national following. I’m not exactly sure how people would acknowledge the greatness of Kuechly, but I’m amazed every time I watch him.
